Project Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Autistic Canadians experience multiple barriers to securing suitable and stable housing. In partnership with the Sinneave Family Foundation, the Accessibility Institute at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University will build a National Autism Housing Network, with the Accessibility Institute hosting the Housing Knowledge Synthesis and Mobilization Hub within this network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The network will bring together the good community-based work that is being accomplished in different locations and at different points throughout the housing ecosystem. We will engage in research on best practices in accessible housing with a focus on neurodiversity, encouraging a shared language and understanding of accessible housing through an autism lens. Through a range of knowledge dissemination, transfer, and exchange, we hope to stimulate a paradigm shift in the way that housing for autistic adults is conceived, informing public policy and influencing change at all levels of government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinneave and Accessibility Institute will collaborate to build a National Autism Housing Network, synthesize best practices in accessible housing, and stimulate a paradigm shift in housing for autistic adults.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
