Accessible Housing

Who is Calgary’s Newest Philanthropist?

It’s you! It’s also me, and you’re neighbour, and you’re coworker.

We’re inviting Calgarians to become monthly donors with a gift that feels meaningful and manageable — whether that’s $2, $10, $25 or more.

Because philanthropy doesn’t have to mean making one enormous gift. It can simply mean caring enough to be part of something bigger. When many people give a little, together we can create real change.

Monthly donations help support programs like Bridge to Home, which helps people with limited mobility move out of, or avoid homelessness; Inclusio, home to 45 Calgarians living with limited mobility; and RAD Renovations, which helps people adapt their homes so they can remain safe, independent and connected to their communities.

You don’t have to change the world by yourself. You just have to be willing to be part of changing it.

Today, we honour Survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never returned home, and recognize the lasting impacts experienced by families and communities across generations.

This day is also a reminder that reconciliation must be reflected in the way we build communities and systems, in who feels welcomed, who has access, whose needs are considered, and whose voices are heard.

Housing is deeply connected to dignity, safety, belonging and the ability to make choices about one’s own life. As we continue our work supporting people with disabilities, we know that meaningful inclusion also requires us to listen, learn, question barriers, and consider the different experiences people bring with them.

Reconciliation is ongoing. It asks more of us than reflection for one day. It asks us to continue learning from Indigenous voices and to carry that learning into the decisions we make, the relationships we build, and the communities we help create.

Take time to listen, remember and reflect and to consider how our actions can contribute to a more respectful and inclusive future.

When we talk about the future of Alberta, accessibility and disability need to be part of the conversation.

This recent piece by Gillian Petit raises important questions about what a potential separation from Canada could mean for Albertans with disabilities, particularly when it comes to the continuity of income supports, disability-related programs and accessibility protections.

Our focus is on people.

Whatever the issue being discussed, we believe it is important to consider how decisions and systemic changes may affect people with disabilities and the supports they rely on.

We’re sharing this article because informed conversations should include those perspectives too.

Happy Friday all!

Ableism isn’t always obvious. It can show up in attitudes, assumptions, systems, and spaces that treat disabled people as less capable, less valuable, or as an afterthought.

Recognizing ableism means looking beyond individual bias and asking:

1. how our communities are designed
2. who they are designed for

Accessibility should be a normal part of everyday life. Not an exception. Not an accommodation added later. Just part of how we build homes, services, and communities that include everyone.

You can help move that work forward.

Join Calgary’s Newest Philanthropists with a monthly gift starting at just $2. Every contribution helps create more accessible, inclusive communities.

Whether it's $2 a month or $20, your monthly gift joins hundreds of others to help create accessible housing, support people with physical disabilities to avoid or exit homelessness, help residents thrive at Inclusio, and allow more Calgarians to remain safely in the homes they love. Because when a....

We recently introduced Calgary to its newest philanthropist.
It’s you.

Because being a philanthropist doesn’t require millions of dollars or your name on a building. It simply means caring enough to make a difference.

A monthly gift, even $2, joins the gifts of others to help Calgarians with limited mobility find appropriate housing, avoid or exit homelessness, live more independently and remain connected to their communities.

Small gifts. Big change.

Accessible giving means accessible housing.
Become one of Calgary’s Newest Philanthropists and help us build a more accessible Calgary.

On World Su***de Prevention Day, we recognize the powerful connection between mental health and having a safe, stable place to call home.

Housing is more than shelter. It provides dignity, security, connection and belonging—things that can be especially important for people with disabilities who may face isolation, discrimination and barriers to housing.

Accessible housing can change lives, and save lives.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 9-8-8 anywhere in Canada for support.

This week, we were part of an important conversation at Calgary City Council around the refresh of Home is Here: The City’s Housing Strategy.

We are incredibly grateful to our Director of Programs, Tolu Enaibe for bringing the experiences and perspectives of the people and communities we serve into this conversation, and to our Director of Fund Development, Victoria Reade for being there alongside her.

As Calgary continues to grow and address the urgent need for housing, accessibility and inclusion must be part of that conversation from the very beginning, not something added later.

We need to continue asking important questions: How do we build enough homes? How do we ensure those homes are truly affordable? And importantly, how do we make sure we are creating homes that people with disabilities and other equity-deserving Calgarians can actually live in and thrive in?

For people living with disabilities, simply having more housing available does not necessarily mean having more housing options. A home that someone cannot enter, navigate safely or live independently in is not truly available to them.

That is why we continue to advocate for housing that is accessible, affordable, appropriate and connected to the supports and opportunities people need to thrive.

Because when we build a more accessible Calgary, we build a city where more people can belong.
