Independent Living Subsidized Senior Citizens Apartments<br />
• Apartment type accommodations for low and moderate income seniors who are functionally<br />
independent.<br />
• Suites are completely self-contained studios and one bedrooms. There are a limited number of<br />
two bedrooms reserved for couples.<br />
• ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: Most seniors housing is for ages 65 + years. Some<br />
management groups have made exceptions by accepting applicants 65+ years then, 50-64<br />
years as a second priority. The age requirements are given in each listing.<br />
• Residency requirements also vary. Under the Social Housing Accommodations Regulation,<br />
an individual must: be a Canadian Citizen or an individual lawfully admitted to Canada for<br />
Permanent Residence; an individual who has applied for refugee or immigration status and for<br />
whom private sponsorship has broken down and met the residency requirement prescribed by<br />
the management body. You must make under or equal to the Core Needs Income Threshold per<br />
year of your municipality to be eligible (in Calgary, 2010, $29,500 for a bachelor suite).<br />
• POINT SYSTEM: A needs assessment is part of the interviewing process. Questions<br />
will be asked regarding present income, reasons for moving and concerns with present<br />
accommodations. There could also be a ceiling on the amount of assets.<br />
• RENTS: Rents are calculated at 30% of the household gross income (line 150 of your income<br />
tax). For couples, both incomes are taken into account. Extra costs may be electricity, cable,<br />
parking and phone service.<br />
These buildings have waiting lists. It is important to apply to as many as possible and<br />
remain in contact with the residential managers. It is best to start applying several months<br />
in advance.<br />
