✦ Synopsis

This study documents Chinese seniors' perceptions of access to the services of public housing and community agencies in Metropolitan Toronto, Canada.

Guided by congruence theory, linguistic and cultural barriers experienced by the Chinese seniors in accessing services were analyzed and their implications were discussed for the design of housing and community programs.
