This includes, but is not limited to:
- Advising on tenancy rights and the Residential Tenancy Act of B.C.
- Supporting local seniors in their interactions with rental organizations and aiding, when possible, in navigating program applications and registration.
- Advice and advocacy on possible problem-solving and conflict resolution strategies to help empower local seniors to be self-advocates.
- Providing mediation and problem-solving services to help resolve disputes/disagreements.
- Representing the needs of local seniors on the Nanaimo Health & Housing Taskforce.
