Senior housing application process
If you are 60 years of age or older, you may be eligible for senior-specific housing in Wrenford. These programs provide safe, affordable, and accessible homes tailored to the needs of older adults. Follow these steps to submit your application and join the waiting list.
Step 1: Check your eligibility
To qualify for senior housing, you must be at least 60 years old. You also need to meet income guidelines, which vary depending on the size of your household and the specific housing complex. Most programs require that your household income falls below a certain percentage of the area median income. If you are unsure about your income limit, review the Apply for affordable housing page for detailed income charts and definitions.
Step 2: Gather your documents
Before you start your application, collect the following items to speed up the process:
- Proof of age, such as a birth certificate or passport.
- Recent pay stubs, pension statements, or social assistance notices for all household members aged 18 and older.
- Proof of Canadian citizenship or permanent residency.
- Any medical or accessibility needs documentation, if applicable.
Step 3: Submit your application
You can apply online through the City’s housing portal or visit the Housing Services office in person. When you apply, you will receive a confirmation number. Keep this number safe, as you will need it to check your application status. To begin, go to Apply for senior housing. If you need help with the online form, call 519-555-0100 or visit the service line at Wrenford 311.
Step 4: Wait for notification
Applications are processed in the order they are received. Because demand is high, wait times can vary. You will be contacted by phone or mail when a unit becomes available. If you move or change your contact information while on the list, you must update it immediately to avoid being removed. You can update your details by logging into your online account or by visiting the Housing Services office.
