refuge the page 1 feature by commun ity editor chris shanahan told of plans to renovate the centuryold building making it necessary for tenants to seek lodging else where the item has brought response from the executive administra tor of parkview village park- view apartments and parkview home in a letter dated april 27 mr nighswander writes dear editor at parkview we read witli in terest the article in the april 22 tribune focus on the plight of the people now living in the man sion house on main street one cannot help but emphathize with these persons in their need for affordable housing while they must make their own decisions there are options available to them both at park view village and the elm road seniors apartments there are ontario government subsidies that should make housing avail able to persons over 60 years of age at a rental cost of approx imately 25 of the income of the individual from the information con tained in the article such housing should cost them less than they are now paying at the mansion house because of waiting lists howev er an apartment might not be im mediately available the point i wish to make is that for persons on limited income the rent at parkview is not 500 to 600 as quoted in the story but actual ly 25 of their income currently several of our tenants are paying less than 100 per month in rent we arc always ready to explore with serious enquirers the possi bilities for affordable housing at parkview village sincerely jm nighswander parkview executive adminis trator jmibj girl next doora3 neighborly notesa5 around towna7
