Advocating for Seniors Housing on the Sunshine Coast
As our population ages, the need for safe, affordable, and accessible housing for seniors on the Sunshine Coast is more important than ever. Ensuring that our elders have suitable living arrangements not only supports their well-being but also strengthens the fabric of our community. That’s why Cover the Coast is conducting the Your Voice, Your Home, Your Future Seniors Housing Survey. If you are 65+ or a caregiver of a senior, this is your chance to help shape the future of seniors housing in our region.
How You Can Help
The Your Voice, Your Home, Your Future Seniors Housing Survey is a simple yet powerful way to make a difference. By sharing your experiences and needs, you help local organizations and policymakers understand the challenges seniors face. Your feedback will directly inform future housing strategies, ensuring that resources are directed where they are needed most.
To make participation as easy as possible, Cover the Coast is hosting in-person survey events where seniors can receive support in completing the survey:
- Gibsons: Harmony Hall, Tuesday, March 4, 1:30PM – 3:30PM
- Sechelt: Sechelt Activity Centre, Friday, March 7, 12:30PM – 2:30PM
- Pender Harbour: Pender Harbour Community Centre – Harbourside Friendship Gathering, Thursday, 10:30AM – 12:00PM
Join us for refreshments and conversation while helping to shape the future of seniors housing on the Sunshine Coast.
Other Ways to Participate
For those unable to attend an event, paper copies of the survey will be available, details will be released shortly, and you can also complete the survey online at Cover the Coast.
Be a Voice for Change
Advocating for seniors housing means ensuring that our elders can age with dignity in the community they love. Unfortunately, access to affordable seniors housing remains a challenge. Many seniors live on fixed incomes and struggle to keep up with rising rental costs.
By participating in this survey, you are taking an active role in shaping housing policies that will benefit not only today’s seniors but future generations as well.
Help us build a Sunshine Coast where everyone, regardless of age, has a safe and secure place to call home. Take the survey today and be part of the solution!
