Plans for affordable senior housing expand across multiple locations

Several new senior housing projects are underway across North America, addressing the growing need for affordable living options for seniors. In Wilmington, the Ministry of Caring plans to construct Villa Maria at Old Brandywine Village, which will provide 74 affordable apartments for low-income seniors, with a projected cost of nearly $30 million. In Quebec, construction has begun on Habitations Petite-Rivière, a project consisting of 20 social and affordable housing units for families and seniors, backed by a combined $8.8 million investment from various government entities. Additionally, a new 40-unit social housing project for semi-independent seniors is set to be built in Saint-Raymond, funded through government contributions and aimed at enhancing local living conditions. Meanwhile, in Pasadena, an updated design for a senior housing development has been presented, featuring 80 units in a six-story building, with plans for various amenities. These initiatives reflect a broader commitment across regions to tackle the housing crisis faced by older adults.
