City council received the Seniors Housing Needs Assessment report at the Dec. 18 council meeting.
The report confirmed what many in the city already knew, that there is a deficit of seniors housing in Chestermere.
The report outlines five recommendations for council to address the housing deficit.
It was recommended that the city establish a task group to immediately develop and implement a seniors' housing action plan.
The action plan should include specific initiatives for the 2019 to 2028 time frame that will lead to the development of a mixture of different housing types for seniors.
The report also recommends that the City ensure that the new seniors' housing is affordable and accessible.
