Housing is a major barrier for the disability community. With funding cuts happening all over the place, those barriers are getting tougher to break.
A local non-profit is asking Edmontonians for help on a new project it said will help change the lives of people with developmental disabilities.
The volunteer-run Care Housing Society has been providing housing for people with severe developmental disabilities since 1991. It runs three homes in Edmonton, but is hoping to expand with a fourth.
The society has already secured a piece of land in west Edmonton but it needs some help reaching the $700,000 or so needed to build the home. While residents do pay rent, the society pays to maintain and operate the homes.
