The Lawrence Heights Community Health Centre has been here for a lot of people of different cultures. We have a role to play in the community. By building relationships with local agencies and by coordinating our efforts we will be more efficient in addressing the needs of the children . There is widespread agreement that the maintenance of the housing stock and physical area is poor in both Lawrence Heights and some of the nearby areas. For many seniors, housing size is inadequate and for those with larger families, the waiting list for larger units is long.
Residents see the poor upkeep as resulting from cutbacks to staff.
As a result, there is increased garbage and bugs. Outside the Lawrence Heights area proper, there is concern about the lack of housing and the impact of the end of rent controls. The roof is leaking, and the paint is peeling off. And they left it for two months. They promise but it doesn't happen.
