Housing Harmonies

Housing Harmonies is a webcast and network café inspired by musical harmony, where sounds come together to create something new, positive, and pleasant. Each episode draws from one or more conversations with people in the housing ecosystem. Through discussion and commentary, we bring a neuroinclusive lens to housing.

After the release of an episode, we schedule and host a Network Café, inviting folx to come together and further discuss the topic of the episode.

#4 Neuroinclusive design takes centre stage

We’ll say it: Neuroinclusivity in housing should be the standard. But why is it not and what can we do counter the misunderstandings of neuroinclusive design? As we move towards this goal, we explore different design elements that can make housing more neuroinclusive and more accessible.

#3 Getting around on public transit

Accessible transportation to get to important destinations such as jobs, medical appointments, or family members is essential to independent living for Autistic and Neurodivergent individuals. We discuss how public transportation can support this and the importance of learning how to use buses or trains.

Spotlight Practices

In our search for good practices in neuroinclusive housing, we connect with many interesting people doing positive work. We want to showcase their efforts and share what we’ve learned with the National Housing Network. In these Spotlight Practices, we highlight the context of their work, the opportunities they addressed, and how they reflect a neuroinclusive lens. We also share the existing or potential connections to other parts of the housing ecosystem and related tools and resources that may be useful to others.
