Accessible Housing

As we celebrate National AccessAbility Week, it's important to remember that accessibility includes having a safe, affordable, and accessible place to call home.

The National Housing Council Review Panel wants to hear from people across Canada about the lack of accessible housing and the barriers it creates.

Your lived experience and perspective can help shape future recommendations.

People with disabilities are constantly sick or in pain.

This is a common myth, and one that can quietly shape how people are perceived and treated.

While some disabilities may involve chronic illness or pain, many do not. Disability is incredibly diverse. Some disabilities are visible, some are invisible, and many people with disabilities live active, full, healthy, and independent lives.

Assuming that disability automatically means suffering can unintentionally reduce people to stereotypes instead of recognizing them as individuals with unique experiences, strengths, goals, careers, relationships, and identities.

The more we challenge these misconceptions, the more we create communities rooted in understanding, accessibility, dignity, and inclusion.
