Housing Senior 55+ Housing Locations
The seniors
designated locations in the City of Winnipeg have studio
apartments that are rented to single seniors and one-bedroom
apartments are rented to couples. In the rural communities,
some senior locations may only have one bedroom. In this case,
a single senior would receive a one-bedroom apartment.
The first
month's rent payment is requested before the tenant(s) move
into the apartment. A damage deposit is not required. Rent
includes heat and water. Electricity and additional services,
such as medical alarms, are extra.
Rental rates
for a studio apartment is 25% of total gross income. Rent for
a 1 bedroom apartment is 27% of total gross income.
Check with your
Manitoba Housing leasing office to see what is available in
your community.

Meal Services (Optional)
To ensure that
senior tenants receive at least one healthy and nutritious
meal daily, a congregate meal service is provided in some
seniors buildings throughout the province. Meal menus are
posted every month and participants are asked to make a
reservation at least 3 hours in advance before serving time.
One fresh, hot meal is served daily, including a beverage and
dessert, for a reasonable cost. Depending on the kitchen,
business hours vary and serving times are either at lunch or
supper.
Tenants may
either dine in with friends and neighbours or have a meal
delivered to his or her apartment.
Check with your
Manitoba
Housing leasing office to see if there is a congregate
meal program available in your building. |
