The Right Homes for Seniors

The Agenda with Steve Paikin

View Transcript

In the blistering housing markets of southern Ontario one group that's often overlooked in the conversation is seniors. Some are living in houses that are too big and hard to maintain. Others can't find suitable AND affordable stock that allows them to downsize. And others still need new services and amenities that their neighbourhoods simply don't have. The Agenda discusses the issue of appropriate housing for seniors.
