SHS Consulting worked in partnership with the Canadian Urban Institute (CUI) to update the CMHC publication Housing for Older Canadians: The Definitive Guide to the Over-55 Market.  Selected chapters in the original publication were updated and will be published as five separate volumes.  Volume 1: Understanding the Market has recently been released.  This first volume focuses on the current and emerging trends in Canadian seniors’ lifestyles, health, financial situations, and housing choices.
