More Affordable Housing Units for Seniors of Thunder Bay on the Works
Everyone was all smiles when the provincial and federal government gave the funding – nearly $10 million – for the construction of 132 new housing units for the seniors of Thunder Bay that fall under low income living. The highly anticipated announcement was made last Friday at the Hogarth Riverview Manor.
Besides being able to take in more than enough of the aging population of Thunder Bay, the project is said to create 110 jobs in the city and most of it would be long term and permanent further propelling the local economy as well. Another benefit of the combined facilities would be the distressing the tension in our local hospital units.
These low cost rental housing units would allow seniors to stay as independent as they can be and is perfect for our dearly beloved seniors, many of which are already in the waiting list to be accommodated in Thunder Bay’s other housing units. When these new project gets done, those who are on the waiting list will greatly be reduced if not eliminated for sure.
The units are expected to be completed by the year 2012.
