🏠November 22 is National Housing Day

In recognition of National Housing Day on November 22, the DSO Housing Navigators are excited to share a special video created in collaboration with self-advocates, their support teams and the DSO Communications team.

This video highlights the critical importance of inclusive housing policies for everyone in Canada, especially for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It underscores the need for accessible and inclusive housing solutions that foster equity, dignity, and independence for all.

To complement the video, you will find here a resource with practical tips on how you can advocate for inclusive and accessible housing policies in your community. Whether you’re engaging with policymakers, raising awareness, or supporting local initiatives, every effort helps to move us closer to a Canada where everyone has a place to call home.

The DSO Housing Navigators hope this initiative inspires ongoing support and action—not just on National Housing Day, but every day—to create communities where everyone has a place to call home.

They invite you to watch the video and share it widely to help raise awareness and support for this vital cause.
