Senior citizen housing considered The Ontario Housing Cor- poration on behalf' of the Ministry of Housing is conducting a survey to determine the need and demand for senior citizen housing in the village of Hensall and the townships of Usborne and Hay. A research analyst will estimate the number of senior citizens living in the community whose housing is inadequate or who are spending more than they can afford on accommodation. The. demand in the area for such Ontario Housing Cor- poration accommodation on a rent -geared -to -income basis will be determined from information gathered through advertising, direct mail questionnaires, in- terviews and applications on file with the local housing managers. The study, has begun as requested by the municipal council of the village of Hensall. 11 includes an assessment of economic trends, growth factors and current and future housing needs in the municipality." Letters outlining OHC's senior citizen rental housing program have been mailed to • senior citizens, asking them if they wish to participate. If an interested senior citizen has not received a questionnaire by mail, he or she may obtain one from the clerk's office, Village of Hensall. A typical senior citizen apartment consists of a bedroom, 'living room, bathroom and a kitchen which is equipped with a stove and refrigerator. In larger cities senior citizen • ac- commodation may be provided in high-rise buildings, but in most communities the typical senior citizen development is a one or two-storey building. After it receives the result of the survey, the municipality can initiate the development process by adopting a resolution asking (1.11.('. to provide the required accommodation. Senior citizen housing is erected at no capital cost to the -I‘lunicit)atlty. The Federal Government, through Central Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration, lends O.H.C. 90 per cent of the capital- cost and the province lends O.H.C. the balance. Both governments are repaid by O.H.C. with interest. (),II.C. makes an annual grant to the municipality to cover normal municipal taxes. The Federal Government pays half the cost of rent subsidies, the Provincial Government pays 42' 2 per cent, and the municipality 7 per cent. Anyone over the age of 60 not having returned the questionaire should do so immediately. Participation today could help housing accommodation tomorrow.
