In order for seniors in our province to live healthy and full lives, it is important for them to have housing that supports them. It isn’t enough to build new homes, we also need to maintain the homes we have.

Housing Minister Joedy Wall was pleased to join MP Tom Osborne, St. John’s Mayor Danny Breen, and Peter Adams, chair of Anglican Homes Inc. to announce joint funding for critical repairs and upgrades to 130 seniors homes in St. John’s. The funding will make the homes more sustainable and will ensure their long-term integrity, making it easier for residents to stay in their homes over time.
