Documents are accessed from the menu at the top of the home page under the following categories:

1. Project details – background, methodology, budget, team and sponsors of the project.

2. Community profiles – This is an online statistical model that can be used to create a profile of the seniors’ population in any Atlantic Canada community over the next 25 years. Using FSA (Forward Sortation Area = first three digits of a postal code), the model can project how many men and women ages 50 to 85+ will live there. It can also project the health and wealth states of men and women in each age cohort, allowing a better understanding as to what the diverse aging population will likely be able to afford in terms of housing and what level of support they will need. Includes a user guide and samples.

3. Housing locator – a forthcoming part of the project, this will be a searchable on-line inventory of seniors housing options that are currently available in Atlantic Canada.

4. Reports – the reports on the various phases of the project, some are forthcoming as the project is not yet complete.

5. Research initiatives – a description of the various major research initiatives that make up this project:
• a survey of over 1,700 Atlantic Canadian seniors;
• Focus Groups with over 120 seniors from underrepresented groups;
• Case Studies exploring innovative housing options available both in Canada and around the world;
• a feasibility study exploring the possibility of developing an on-line inventory of seniors housing options in Atlantic Canada;
• a thorough review of municipal, provincial and federal government policies which impact seniors housing.
