GIVING PEOPLE A VOICE
Our Advocacy for All Abilities
The following are examples of our advocacy work that gives voice to the belief that everyone should have an active and engaged quality of life that enables meaningful connections and contribution to the world.
VOTE HOUSING
Vecova has endorsed Vote Housing, a national, non-partisan, grassroots advocacy campaign led by the Canadian Lived Experience Leadership Network (CLELN), the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness, the Canadian Housing & Renewal Association, and the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada.
- 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.
