The aging population and the scale of the changes it entails are forcing Francophone social actors from official language minority communities (OLMC) to review their ways of doing things. The community building approach is a way to stimulate social innovation. Our article aims to present an action research project on community housing in an OLMC context. In the first part, we present the situation of the aging population in New Brunswick and the issues of housing for older adults in the province. In the second part, we describe the methodology behind the data collection (a series of group interviews and a community forum) and the data analysis. In the third part, we present the results around three housing themes (built, social and organizational frameworks). In the last part, we propose three avenues for reflection on the development of community housing for Francophone older adults living in OLMC.
