MARCH 17, 1976 TERRACE BAY NEWS. PAGE 11 SENIOR CITIZEN HOUSING -------------- 1 ------ tt" ---------- The Thunder Bay Housing Authority on behalf of the Ministry of Housing will conduct a survey to deter- mine the need and demand for senior citizen housing in Schreiber. : A research analyst will estimate the number of sen -ior citizens living in the community whose housing is inadequate or who are spending more than they can afford on accomodation. ; The demand in the area for such Ontario Housing Corporation accomodation 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, which will begin soon, was requested by the Municipal Council of the Township of Schreiber. It will include 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 will be mailed to senior citizens, asking them if they wish to participate. If an in- terested senior citizen does not receive a question= naire by mail, he or she may obtain one from the Mun- icipal Office. 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 accommodation 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 O.H.C. to provide the 11.00 . (weekly) 35.00 .
