• For many persons with disabilities there are limited housing options that are safe, affordable and accessible. 
• Persons with disabilities disproportionately live in substandard housing or must settle for less compatible housing options such as large group residences or senior facilities.  In some cases, they end-up homeless.
• Over 400,000 adults with disabilities or 15.3% of the Canadian population have core housing needs, which is more than 60% higher than those without disabilities.
• Vecova supports adequate, safe and affordable housing for people of all abilities. 

Vecova is collaborating with Community Engaged Learning in the Indigenous Local & Global Health Office at the Cumming School of Medicine on offering community engaged learning experiences for medical students.

Community Engaged Learning strives to help future physicians better understand and appreciate the lived experience of people in the communities they serve, to appreciate the role of self-determination in their medical care, and to recognize that people with lived experience and the organizations that serve them are experts in how to educate and advocate for their health needs.  Studies have shown that when medical students are provided community engaged learning experiences, they are better able to provide appropriate interactions and care for their patients and advocate alongside them.
