ALIGNING WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS GEF Seniors Housing recognizes the importance of collaboration and partnership in addressing the multifaceted challenges of senior housing. By working closely with community-based agencies, government entities, and local stakeholders, GEF amplifies its impact and ensures that seniors receive the support and resources they need to thrive. Through strategic alliances and shared vision, GEF endeavors to alleviate homelessness, enhance social inclusion, and create vibrant and sustainable communities for seniors across the province. GEF SENIORS HOUSING IN ACTION Allan L. was living in a property where there were multiple concerns for his safety, prompting the intervention of the Residential Inspection Safety Compliance Team (RISC) through the Problem Property Initiative at the City of Edmonton. Through collaborative efforts with the Community Safety Liaison and the Homelessness Prevention Coordinator from the City of Edmonton, Allan was connected with Sage Seniors Association to complete a housing application for GEF Seniors Housing. Accompanied by the Community Safety Liaison, Allan attended his interview, and with the help of GEF staff, Allan was approved for a bachelor unit at a GEF apartment building. The team then coordinated with Bissell Centre’s Outreach Housing Team to move Allan into his new bachelor apartment with new furniture and some financial support to ensure a successful transition. Allan L. enjoys the comfort and security of his GEF apartment unit. 30 MAY 2024 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
