A Widow Helps Senior Women Find Housing And Creates A Movement

With Dahlia Kurtz on The Goods

It took a widow to help senior women find housing – because they feel β€˜invisible’ to our governments.

When Pat Dunn lost her husband, she also lost her ability to afford housing. She took to Facebook to see if she could find a roommate. What she found were countless senior women in the same position as her. And what she created was a movement that now has almost 1,800 senior women in Ontario – and it's growing. And what started as a movement by one woman, has now grown INTO A NATIONAL MOVEMENT. Pat Dunn, the founder of Senior Ladies Living Together, and Ottawa group member Kathryn Carruthers, join Dahlia Kurtz on The Goods with their story.
