(CJUK Photo)Persons United for Self Help in Northwestern Ontario wants the Ontario Ombudsman to investigate the region's long wait lists.
There are now 400 people waiting for accessible supportive community housing and home support care.
PUSH president Ron Ross says some have been waiting for a decade.
"Whether the Ombudsman investigates and wants to do a public inquiry," says Ross. "If he does a public inquiry we'll hear from the community. We'll hear from the people on wait lists. We'll hear from their families. We'll hear from others who are involved in these type of issues."
Ross says those on the wait list are now living in either long term care facilities or with their aging parents.
