Supportive Housing for homeless and hard-to-house seniors is our featured
Research Highlight this week. We also continue with our About Your House
series on renovations — this week, we look at the bathroom. And, if you
haven't heard by now, the 2008 Housing Awards program has just been
launched.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very safe and
wonderful Holiday Season!

I'll see you again in January 2008.

Gina.

seniors: an in-depth case study (65672)
The main objective of this study was to conduct an in-depth case review of
Fairway Woods, a 32-apartment housing project providing 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, support services for formerly homeless and hard-to-house
seniors. This report describes the location, site and building of the
housing project as well as the tenant profile and range of services
provided. It also highlights the project's main success factors and the
impact of Fairway Woods on tenants and neighbours. It concludes with
practical advice for housing sponsors, architects and service providers who
are envisioning a similar project. This project received funding under the
terms of CMHC's HYPERLINK

(62254) 
Renovating your bathroom is a great way to add value to your home — both for
the benefit of your family and for future home resale. But before you
proceed, it's best to check for any underlying problems that could lead to
costly surprises. This checklist for homeowners, house inspectors and
renovation contractors looks at potential problems in six key areas: size
and design; fixtures; structural areas; moisture problems; plumbing and
electrical systems; and heating and ventilation. The list includes what to
look for, possible remedies and what could happen if problems are not
repaired.

faster than the rate of 4.7% in the rest of the Canadian economy. As a
