Evaluation of the Barrhaven multi-unit housing for the environmentally hypersensitive / prepared for: Research Division, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation; prepared by: The Flett Consulting Group...: NH15-900/1997E-PDF
"This report presents the results of a post-occupancy evaluation of the Barrhaven Multi-Unit Housing Project for the Environmentally Hypersensitive commissioned by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. This is the first social housing project for environmentally hypersensitive individuals in Canada, and maybe the first in North America. Qualitative interviews were undertaken with tenants one year to eighteen months post-occupancy to ascertain satisfaction with the housing unit features and design, the neighbourhood, and the housing development. The results include a case description of each family or individual occupying the seven units. Dimensions documented include health-related concerns, functional capability, benefits experienced as a result of living in the dwelling, change in outlook in life, use of health and related social services, social interactions, and future plans. The report ends with recommendations for those planning similar social housing projects for individuals with environmental hypersensitivities"--Abstract.
