Tannery Court Gets Glowing Recommendation

A glowing recommendation is being given to Tannery Court Co-operative Housing complexes. There are currently ones in Fredericton and Moncton with construction underway for a set up in the South End and another in the Hub City. The scientific evaluation of the quality of life of residents shows moving into the complex does improve the quality of life among people of this segment of society. The two-part study interviewed almost half of the residents at both housing sites.

It shows the single adults with life challenges whose incomes are below the poverty line, have experienced a significant positive change in their quality of life. Plans are also being explored for an additional Tannery Court set up in Fredericton. Several resident in the South End are opposed to the set-up saying it consolidates poverty within an already poor area.
