Listowel, ON — United Housing (UH), part of United Way Perth-Huron (UWPH), is acquiring Perth Meadows and assuming management of the residence’s operations.

“We are excited to acquire Perth Meadows and ensure it will be kept as a not-for-profit entity in perpetuity as originally intended by its founders,” said UWPH and UH Executive Director, Ryan Erb. “UH was created to not only develop new units but ensure existing units remain affordable and attainable. We’re deeply invested in working with the Municipality to ensure the success of this undertaking.”

As UH assumes ownership and management of Perth Meadows, the plan is to ensure a smooth transition by continuing to support the existing Perth Adult Life Care Residence as an affordable 55+ community and seek ways to build connections and ensure transparency.
