“How and why shared-living disrupts the housing sector”
Workshop Room Saturday October 19th 1:30pm

In this insightful workshop, Pat Dunn, Founder and Executive Director of Senior Women Living Together, will explore the critical issues within our broken housing system—specifically, how it affects senior women. Currently, over 300,000 single senior women in Ontario are living in poverty, with many forced to spend up to 70% of their income on housing. This unsustainable reality leaves them vulnerable and without affordable options.

Pat recognized the need for a solution and created Senior Women Living Together, a groundbreaking organization that offers shared-living options to empower senior women and disrupt the housing sector. In this session, Pat will discuss how shared living is reshaping the housing landscape and providing an affordable, community-based solution for single senior women. Don’t miss this chance to learn about an innovative approach to tackling the housing crisis!
