Kenora-Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton is pushing the provincial government to help keep seniors in the their own community.
Hampton says requests for funding for supportive housing projects in the Rainy River district are being held up by the Northwest Local Health Integration Network.
"In Fort Frances, where the waiting list is equally long, they’re interested in supportive housing," says Hampton, "but they have put proposal after proposal after proposal to the North West LHIN without much of a response."
Hampton says the Rainy River District Social Services Administrative Board is also waiting for funds for a project in Rainy River.
