Seniors housing booklet released

A NEW booklet, to increase the
awareness of the types of accom-
modation options that could be
available to older Canadians, was
launched recently by the Canada
Mortgage and Housing Corpora-
tion.

Seniors comprise the fastest
growing segment of the population
and this trend will continue into
the next century as the baby boom
generation moves into the ranks of
seniors. Today, just over 10 per
cent of Canadians are over 65
years old.

This will increase to 13 per cent
by the year 2000 and to nearly 25
per cent by the year 2030.

Recent trends also indicate that
average life spans are increasing.
This fact, along with changes in
the characteristics and cir-
cumstances of older Canadians,

will influence their choice of hous-

ing.

Many new forms of accom-
modation, tenure and services are
being developed in Canada, as well
as in other countries. The bookict
describes these new options

testilen itd.
