More than 10,000 adults with an intellectual disability are living in nursing homes—not because they need to be there, but because accessible, affordable housing and the supports they need to live in community are too often out of reach.

This is a housing issue.
It’s an inclusion issue.
And it’s an issue of human rights.

Inclusion Canada believes everyone has the right to live in a home of their own, in a community of their choosing, with the supports they need to live a full and inclusive life.

We need housing solutions that include people with intellectual disabilities, not systems that leave them behind.
