The Disability Housing in Canada report provides a comprehensive jurisdictional scan of disability housing initiatives and policies across Canada, offering insights into federal, provincial, and territorial efforts to address accessibility, affordability, and inclusivity in housing for individuals with disabilities. It explores key residential models, funding structures, governance roles, and oversight mechanisms, synthesizing findings to inform future policy and practice in Canada and beyond.

That national review covered all 13 jurisdictions – ten provinces and three territories – plus the federal tier, and it revealed a landscape best characterized as patchworked and fragmented
