Government & Community Relations

Housing
Housing
has been a priority of the Social Action Committee for some
time. In particular, we have been working, together with several
other organizations, to provide community-based supported housing
for younger adults with significant care needs as an alternative
to placement in a personal care home. We are also concerned
about the availability of affordable accessible housing, the
promotion of Visit-Able housing and the provision of funding
for the disability supports people need to enable them to continue
living independently. Some of these activities are reflected
in the documents listed in this link.
