Supportive housing
project announced

A SENIORS hovsing com-
plex announced last week
will fill a gap between
completely independent
living and extended care
facilities such as Terrace-
view Lodge, says Skeena
NDP MLA Helmut Gies-
brecht,

Speaking to people who
gathered Jan. 24 to hear
about the $2.3 million pro-
ject to build 22 units,
Giesbrecht said its resi-
dents will be able to live
by themselves but will
also be able to use and
enjoy the facilities at Ter-
Taceview,

The complex will be
built adjacent to Terrace-
view and will be connec-

ted by a covered walkway. - .

“They'll be able to go
to church [services at Ter-
raceview], take part in en-
tertainment and go on
shopping excursions,” ‘Said
Giesbrecht.

As well, residents will
be able to use other Terra-
ceview services such as
Meals on Wheels,

Those with spouse in- i

Terraceview will also have

one of the new units.

Her husband has been -

in Terraceview for several
years and she finds it diffi-
cult to get up to the lodge
for visits.

“My driving years are
over so [ need to be
closer,” she said.

Construction money is
coming from B.C. Housing,
the agency charged with
provincial housing pro-
prams.

It will also provide rent-
al assistance to those who
need help and wiil provide

the chance to Hye closer [i

to them.
Giesbrecht also noted
the

for supportive housing in
the late 1980s,

“Even though they were!

not successful, they still

contributed muck to this ff

proposal over the years,”
said Giesbrecht.
The project, unlike ear-

- lier versions, will consist

Fk Lid

solely of rental housing.

Eighty-seven-year-old

Aileen Frank hopes to be

the first on the list to rent. .
