Projects

The Edmonton Pride Seniors Group (EPSG) is a self-organizing  group of volunteers who are devoted to creating safe spaces for older 2SLGBTQIA+ Edmontonians and their allies. 

To advance that goal, we formed a Housing Development Committee in 2017 to further investigate the housing needs of 2SLGBTQIA+ seniors. That research with Edmontonians has established conclusively both the need and demand for L2SLGBTQIA+ friendly seniors housing, and also has provided us with a jumping off point to understand the types of features and programming the housing would need to provide to be successful.

Today, our group is focused and committed to partnering with the City of Edmonton and other organizations to explore this concept, identify opportunities for land acquisition and funding, and see this project become a reality. We expect the cost to construct such a building would be in the area of $22 – 30 million. 

Edmonton Pride Seniors Group is working to create a housing facility for seniors. To this end, a housing development committee was formed. The initial task was to determine the actual demand for this development. The questionnaire which ran in March of 2020 intended to:

• Identify individuals and households that might be interested in moving into the development
  
• Determine the importance of various seniors housing features
  
• Determine financial considerations/constraints
  
• Determine their anticipated time of moving into such a development

As well, the questionnaire provided more information in regards to the purpose of the survey and steps taken by EPSG until then.
