When we think about the shortage of new affordable housing in Canada and the affordability of existing housing supply, it is easy to lose focus on accessibility and neuroinclusivity. In this spotlight, we try to connect the two, by bringing a neuroinclusive lens to affordable housing.<\/p>\n

In October 2024, we attended the “Exploring Affordable Housing Solutions for People with Diverse Abilities” event with the Intentional Community Consortium in Kitchener, Ontario. Following that, we hosted a “Neuroinclusivity in Housing” event with the Sinneave Family Foundation in Calgary, Alberta.<\/p>\n

We share insights and learnings from these events and for each aspect, we highlight the important connections to neuroinclusivity.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Context” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_align=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Collaboration between P4 partners (public, private, philanthropic, and non-profit housing providers) can be an important part of funding housing development.<\/p>\n
