Accessible Housing and Residences
Home is where life happensâwhere we sleep, eat, care for family, and find refuge from the world. But for many Canadians with disabilities, housing presents daily obstacles that transform basic activities into challenges. The shortage of accessible housing forces people into institutional settings, limits independence, and constrains where and how people can live. Addressing the accessible housing crisis is fundamental to disability rights and inclusion.
