BSH researchers Drs. Alina McKay and Colin Phillips found 89% of renters with disabilities face discrimination applying for housing. Dr. Phillips, himself a Right Fit client, reflects on what this cut means for #AccessibleHousing in Canada. Read our blog: buff.ly/V5jmHiW

A vital program matching wheelchair users to #accessiblehousing just lost federal funding. The Right Fit program has housed over 371 people - 38% of whom were homeless or at risk of homelessness. Demand has also grown, 213 people are currently waiting for accessible housing
