I have a quick question for Lola, from Prince George. I had a similar situation in Langley. I was speaking at a senior resource centre and a senior came up to me. The roof of her mobile home had been leaking for about four years, and it was getting to the point where they were going to have to move out because they didn't have the money to maintain it, to build it...hot water tank and furnace. I could find no government or NGO that would help. I ended up funding it myself. We got community volunteers and put a new roof on so at least they could stay.
Are you aware of anything that would help struggling seniors who don't have a nest egg take care of the basic maintenance? In this situation, she would have become homeless if we hadn't helped. Are there any programs?
