apartment
changes
A provincial change that turned
senior citizens apartments into
buildings no longer used exclusively
for seniors was blamed for an
increase in the vacancy rate in the
Queen's Village apartments in Blyth
during a report on the Huron County
Housing Authority at the November
meeting of Huron County Council.
Notingthatthe vacancy rate on
Oct. 31 w as six of the 24 Blyth units
with no one waiting to enter, Blyth
Reeve Albert Wasson noted the
vacancy rate had only increased
since residence regulations in the
apartments were changed to allow
non-seniors to live there. “As long
as it was for senior citizens we had a
waiting list,” he said.
William Tugwell, housing mana
ger for the authority said that the
decision to open the senior units to
others than seniors was a Ministry of
Housing policy and the entire
province was forced to follow that
policy change.
“Would it be fair to assume we as
a village and as a county would be
doing you a favour to bring up this
concern (with the province)” Reeve
Wasson asked.
Mr. Tugwell said that if there are
concerns aboutthe issue they should
be forwarded to Chaviva Hosek,
Minister of Housing.
The report showed Blyth with the
highest vacancy rate with six of its 24
units vacant followed by Zurich with
four of its 20 units empty and
Bayfield, Goderich, Exeter, Brus
sels and Wingham each with one
unit vacant. Seaforth and Clinton
had no vacancies.
Leona Armstrong, Reeve of Grey
questioned Mr. Tugwell about
recommendations in the report of
the Report of the Seniors Care
Facility Committee that elevators be
installed in seniors’ apartments.
Mr. Tugwell said elevators would
not be installed in two-storey
buildings because they are not
concrete buildings and therefore
would have to have concrete-encas
ed shafts built onto the building
before elevators could be installed.
This was too expensive, he said.
Hesaidtheauthorityis looking
into the possibility of putting better
railing in stairwells, perhaps in the
next budget. Lossie Fuller, deputy
reeve of Exeter said something must
be done about the railings because
the residents of the apartments are
very worried. The railings have been
put oft every year for the next year
she said and it’s time action was
taken.
