Yasushi Ohki
“Everyone needs a home where they feel safe. But only they can tell us what that means. Let’s explore together how to build more suitable housing!”
Jolyn Hall
“I am aware current housing options do not appropriately meet the needs of this population and I look forward to learning more about what you want so as an industry and senior service organization we can move towards successfully planning and designing housing to meet the diverse needs of residents.”
Teagan MacNeil
“I am passionate about learning and understanding the ways in which design can serve as a method of progressing social inclusion and equity. Realizing that many of the standard practices embedded in the design of our built environment fail to consider all users, my interest to participate in the 2SLGBTQ+ Seniors Housing Lab is to contribute to a greater collective understanding of how spaces can be better suited to serve everyone equally.”
Christopher MacDonald
“We're all in this together, just walking each other home...and if I can help others have a home, that helps us all.”
Robert Olson
“I am interested in helping to support the community. I am also looking forward to learning from the experience to help me become a better operator.”
