More housing needed YES, THE residents of Terrace are getting the message that Health Care is in jeopardy in B.C,’s northwest, but what about. the housing situation for our elderly citizens? This is another local problem where a southern-dominated government neglects our northern communities. — About six years ago a group of citizens . - concemed about the lack of. affordable, .”. rental housing for seniors, formed the Ter- race Seniors Housing Society. They hoped. to purchase property on which to construct a 20-unit low-rental housing complex. Due to a lack of financial and government support, the Terrace “Seniors Housing Society (which is stilt active) has accom- plished nothing. As time goes on suitable property close to the down-town core has become scarce — and the cost of construc- tion keeps getting more expensive. Terrace docs have two subsidized seniors complexes, both of which are over 30 years old. Both have a majority of bachelor suites and both have a long wait-list. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corpora- tion and the Government have said. ‘‘No” to building seniors Housing. Why, you ask? Well, we are told of several communities in the lower mainfand where seniors’ hous- ing has been built. This housing is now ex- periencing, vacancies, Then we were told about some senior couples who have acquired a fair bank ac- count, then turned over their finances to their children, in order to make themselves available for fow-rental accommodation. When the government speaks about seniors’ housing in Terrace, they include the Twin River Estates. This housing com- plex was built by enthusiastic citizens and with the support of Branch #73 of the Pensioners Organization. Seniors who were hoping to move in also contributed deposits, The goverament didn’t contribute one SENIOR'S NEWS... AILEEN FRANK cent, It is a private establishment where the units are purchased (no rentals), The ad- ministration is controlied by an executive elected by members owning a unit in the complex. This society can no longer finance the building of more units on the Estates’ prop- erly, as construction costs are so high the units can no longer be classed as affor- dable, A survey of the Terrace area revealed that over 130 Seniors are in need of accom- modation close to the downtown core for various reasons. Some elderly residents of “our community are living in rented apart- ments and paying more than 30 percent of theiri income in rent, Should you know of someone 65 yis. plus who is struggling to exist on a low income after paying more than 30 per cent of their income for rent, tell them that the govern- ment offers a S.A.F.E.R. Program (shelter aid for elderly renters) to which they can apply for financial assistance. Call 635- 2305 for information on SAFER.
