"- "We're at the embyro stage, at the- begin- ning," Wallace says, "It will take years for this project to reach fruition." While there are numerous hurdles to overcome before the doors can be opened, there are already 40 ap- plications for accom- modation in the projeet. Over the nextý few months, Wallace says, the applications will be verified and the com- mittee will also be ap- proaching the Canada LMortgage and Housing Corporation (C.M.H.C.) for financial assistance. "94We need to secure some funding to allow the group to look at sites, to become incor- porated and to ar- ticulate the need," Wallace says. The committee, whose vice-chairman is local lawyer John Brady, is still looking for ehigible senior citizens in Brooklin and the outlying areas who are înterested in« the projeet. One issue that has to overcome is the question of municipal services. Wallace notes that without adequate servicing (iLe. water 'and sewer) the project is severely hampered. The commif:e hopes to establish 5o housing units within Brookhin it- self. "'The need is ob- Vious," Wallace says, "Many people have ap-ý proached elected people and others on the com- mittee because of the lack of accommodation for seniors in the hamlet."1 Often, seniors have to leave Brooklin to find appropriate housing in other communities. "No stone wlll be left unturned by the foun- ding 'committee,"1 Wallace says, "We are moving in, a positive direction and we are confident that there will be- senior citizens housing in Brooklin someday." Wallace- estimates that i 't could take five years to complete the project. Any senior citizen wanting more infor- mnation is asked to caîl Wallace at 655-3844 or Brady at 655-485. 1 -----------------------
