A Housing need and demand analysis

Seniors Cohousing is a still a relatively novel concept in Canada, with only one operating community and three new projects underway. A goal of the non profit Canadian Senior Cohousing Society is to raise awareness of the need for community and for mutual social support through Active Aging study groups. A group of households then form to aquire a site and build the houses and common house. The key feature of Canadian Senior Cohousing is the concept of residents co-caring for each other. That is, they provide companionship and support for each other which provides support to age in place at no cost to the system.
