Why is safe, affordable and accessible housing still out of reach for many disabled people in British Columbia?
The answer isn't a single barrier. It's many.
From the shortage of accessible homes and long waitlists to unaffordable housing, limited universal design, systemic discrimination and the absence of a centralized housing registry, disabled people continue to face multiple barriers to finding a home that meets their needs.
Access Denied explores these challenges and outlines opportunities to build a housing system where accessibility and affordability go hand in hand.

"Hospital bed days... plunged from a collective 858 days in the year preceding move-in to a forecasted 53 days."
Supportive housing costs less than shelters, less than jail, and it saves the system millions. To end homelessness, build supportive housing.
