History & Mission
History
Strathcona County has been supporting the provision of affordable seniors housing to its residents since 1961 with the creation of Clover Bar Foundation to operate Clover Bar Lodge located in Sherwood Park. With the introduction of the Alberta Housing Act in 1994, management bodies were created throughout the Province to operate and maintain social housing accommodation. Seniors Management Services was created as a Management Body to replace Clover Bar Foundation.
Pioneer Housing Foundation was incorporated by Strathcona County in 1993 to provide management services to publicly and privately funded housing projects created for seniors' use within Strathcona County. In collaboration with Strathcona County, Pioneer Housing Foundation provides management services to Seniors Management Services for low and modest income seniors.
Pioneer Housing Foundation owns and operates two seniors lodge facilities within Sherwood Park and manages three rent-geared-to-income self-contained seniors apartment facilities within Strathcona County on behalf of the Province of Alberta and Seniors Management Services.
