Summer Edition: Northumberland County warden weighs in on seniors facing homelessness

One week after the interview with Kim Lauder, executive director of the Help Centre, Northumberland County Warden Bob Crate came on the show to contradict her. He said that, on a scale of one to 10, the situation in which seniors face potential homelessness may be a four to six. Crate will talk about the state of seniors in the county, from affordable housing to unsheltered individuals. He will discuss what is being done and what also needs to be done. This includes the possible expansion of 310 Division Street. The warden will also talk about the recent Rural Ontario Municipalities Association (ROMA) conference he attended earlier this week. Many municipal politicians were also in attendance. Homelessness and housing were a major takeaway for him. Take a listen to see if you think the county is doing enough to help seniors and address affordable housing.
