Intergenerational Housing: Students and Seniors Find Harmony in Calgary

Two students in Calgary have found an innovative housing solution by moving into a local retirement home as part of a new intergenerational program. The program, funded by a federal grant, aims to provide affordable housing for students while also addressing the social isolation faced by many seniors. The students will pay only $500 per month for their rooms and dining privileges, in exchange for volunteering 30 hours a month. The program has been met with enthusiasm by both the students and the seniors, who say it is a win-win situation for all involved.
