As requested by Exeter town council, the Ontario Housing Corporation will conduct a survey in Exeter to determine the need and demand for family and senior citizens housing. The survey will combine ad- vertising, direct mail questionnaires and interviews and will begin very shortly. Only residents over 60 years of age will receive letters outlining the government's rental housing program and asking if they wished to participate. This questionnaire is not an ap- plication for Ontario Housing, but simply an indication of interest, It asks for general information about number of family mem- bers, income, and present ac- commodation. Other persons who are interested may inquire at the clerk's office. In addition, a research analyst from OHC, the Ontario Govern- ment's housing agency, will estimate the number of families and senior citizens living or working in the community whose housing is inadequate or beyond their financial capabilities. The study will include an assessment of economic trends, growth factors and current and future housing needs in the municipality. Town council is responsible for the mailing and publicity costs of the survey, while all other ex- penses would be paid by OHC. If some interested people are not reached by direct mail, they may obtain a questionnaire from the municipal offices. If the survey shows a need for family housing, then the OHC will be ready to accept official ap- plication forms. There are no income requirements for the ac- commodation, but rents are determined proportionately to the income. For example, a person or farnily with incomes under $200 per month would pay ..$37 rent, while those whose in- come is over $200 pay ap- proximately 25 percent of their income. Home owners are not eligible for rental units, although senior citizens may apply and dispose of their land if they are chosen. A person may be chosen for Ontario Housing if his or his, family's needs are estimated to be high enough. A "point system" is established and the people with the highest number of points, i.e. the greatest need, are given rental accommodation first. Rural dwellers are not eligible either because in order to be eligible, persons have to have been living in Exeter for one year. If need is established for family housing, it will likely be two- storey, or semi-detached or row design. The number and size of units varies with community needs, but they can have as many as four or five bedrooms. If the survey shows a need for senior citizens housing, it will likely be an apartment building, although consideration is given to one storey units which do not require stairways. Apartments have a living room, bedroom, daylight saying time ends INTIONITY 1111AUTY SERVICE We Specialize In Custom Slaughtering and Processing To Individual Requirements Cattle and Hogs are Government Inspected in out Modern Abattoir for Your Protection, SLAUGHTERING ON MONDAY ONLY All Processing Guaranteed LOCKERS FOR RENT By Month or Year EXETER FROZEN FOODS Phone 235-0400 MMOMMLIVZIMMISSIMI SENIOR CITIZEN HOUSING — The OHC senior citizen housing may be a two storey apartment dwelling or a one-storey arrangement like this, depending on the needs of the people involved.
