Senior Women Living Together: A Successful Grassroots Initiative for Women in Canada for Affordably and to Stay Connected

Guest Speaker: Pat Dunn, Founder and Executive Director of Senior Women Living Together

Episode Host: Susi Stadler

When Pat Dunn’s husband died six years ago, she was facing two challenges faced by many in this phase of life: loneliness and affordable, stable housing. Her solution was simple — find some housemates. So she started a Facebook group, moved in with two women she met there, and then realized she wasn’t the only one who needed this. Pat is 75, and she now runs a non-profit, Senior Women Living Together, that has inspired hundreds of senior women across Ontario to do the same and has 2,000 followers in its Facebook group.

In our conversation, Pat will share how it actually works — the practicalities, the agreements, the hard conversations — and why she thinks this might be one of the most underrated ways to navigate getting older.
