Housing security equals safety. 🏡
For seniors, a stable home is the foundation for health, dignity, and independence. When older adults have secure housing, they can stay connected, age with confidence, and truly thrive. Let’s work together to make safe, affordable homes a reality for every senior. 💙

🟣 World Elder Abuse Awareness Day – June 15th 🟣

Unfortunately, elder abuse is more common than people realize. Too many seniors face neglect, exploitation, and mistreatment—often at the hands of people they trust. It's up to all of us to recognize the signs and speak up. Together, we can be a voice for those who may not be able to speak for themselves. If you are a senior or know of someone who needs help, call the Seniors Abuse & Information line toll-free at 1-866-437-1940 or in the Lower Mainland at 604-437-1940.
