The Development Process

Katherine Sanford Housing Society housing is designed to integrate well into neighbourhoods. Housing is purpose-built whenever possible to provide a variety of living opportunities. After selecting a site, the society obtains the necessary approvals for the housing to be designed and built.

Katherine Sanford Housing Society takes care to ensure that the housing it develops is accessible and adaptable to the needs of a wide range of occupants, including individuals in wheelchairs. Before beginning a new project, the society consults on design features with many people, including care providers, current residents, and mental health agencies. Consultation with the people living in Katherine Sanford housing is an ongoing process.

Since many people choose to remain in Katherine Sanford housing for their lifetime, various issues, especially those associated with aging, arise over the years. Modernizations and improvements are made to meet individual requirements whenever possible in order to provide a safe, secure place that people can call home.
