Supportive Living & Housing
Eligibility Criteria
The supportive living accommodation and the supportive housing accommodation provided by the Leduc Foundation share the following eligibility Criteria.
Citizenship Residency Age Underage Applicants Functional Independence Suitability Citizenship
To be eligible for accommodation, an applicant must:
- be Canadian citizen; or
- have landed immigrant status; or
- have residency equal to that required for Canadian citizenship.
Residency
Applicants, or their primary relatives, must have lived in the County of Leduc, including the City of Leduc, for at least one year immediately prior to an application being made. Applications will be considered from individuals who have lived in the County of Leduc, including the City of Leduc, for any previous ten years of their life. If a couple is applying, only one person must meet the residency requirement.
At the discretion of the Executive Director, the residency requirement may be waived for an applicant if:
- there is a vacancy, and no other eligible applicants meeting the residency requirement are on the waiting list for that accommodation; and
- the applicant meets all other basic eligibility criteria, and is a Canadian citizen.
Age
Applicants must be sixty-five (65) years of age or over. Only one of a couple need be sixty-five (65) years of age or over. If there is a significant difference in age, the younger person may be required to give up his/her residency if the other has need of an alternate facility.
Underage Applicants
In the case where there are on-going vacancies the Foundation may consider individuals and couples fifty (50) years of age and over who exhibit characteristics normally attributable to seniors sixty-five (65) years and older. Prior approval must be obtained from the Executive Director for acceptance of these applicants.
Functional Independence
An applicants' health must be such that they are mentally, physically and emotionally capable of providing for their own needs, with or without the assistance of community based services.
A medical must be completed by a doctor to document an applicant's ability to provide for his/her own needs.
Suitability
If there exists a high probability that an applicant possesses a significant social problem(s) which could disrupt the peaceful enjoyment of other residents, he/she may be found unsuitable for accommodation.
