繁體中文

Seniors are the fastest growing age demographic in Vancouver. Many older adults live on fixed incomes and will need to consider changing health, accessibility and housing needs as they age. Some older adults will choose to stay in their existing home or community as long as they can, while others may seek out or require seniors’ buildings with supports or will downsize to a more manageable or accessible home.

The strategy outlines policies, partnerships, and advocacy to work towards the overarching goal of ensuring elders and older adults have the housing and supports needed to allow for aging in appropriate and affordable housing in their community. Learn about the strategy in a brief summary (PDF, 1.6 MB) or read the full strategy document (PDF, 2.8 MB) and have someone translate it for you if needed. The strategy is shaped by the feedback we heard from older adults, community organizations serving seniors, and caregivers during the first round of engagement held last year. Please find the summary report of what we heard throughout the engagement here (PDF, 2.8 MB).
