Manitoba Housing Senior 55+ Housing Locations

The seniors designated locations in the City of Winnipeg have studio apartments that are rented to single seniors and one-bedroom apartments are rented to couples. In the rural communities, some senior locations may only have one bedroom. In this case, a single senior would receive a one-bedroom apartment.

The first month's rent payment is requested before the tenant(s) move into the apartment. A damage deposit is not required. Rent includes heat and water. Electricity and additional services, such as medical alarms, are extra.

Rental rates for a studio apartment is 25% of total gross income. Rent for a 1 bedroom apartment is 27% of total gross income.

Check with your Manitoba Housing leasing office to see what is available in your community.

Congregate Meal Services (Optional)

To ensure that senior tenants receive at least one healthy and nutritious meal daily, a congregate meal service is provided in some seniors buildings throughout the province. Meal menus are posted every month and participants are asked to make a reservation at least 3 hours in advance before serving time. One fresh, hot meal is served daily, including a beverage and dessert, for a reasonable cost. Depending on the kitchen, business hours vary and serving times are either at lunch or supper.

Tenants may either dine in with friends and neighbours or have a meal delivered to his or her apartment.

Check with your Manitoba Housing leasing office to see if there is a congregate meal program available in your building. For more information see the meal program brochure. (PDF)
