Hi Everyone:
Please add your voice to the direction of Inclusive Housing in BC by completing this survey for the BC Non-Profit Housing Association.
Why it’s important:
BCNPHA and Community Living BC have partnered on a survey to learn more about the housing needs, demands, and preferences of adults with a developmental disability who are living in B.C. While we know there is a need for more affordable, accessible, and inclusive housing for adults with a developmental disability in the province, filling out this survey will help us to better understand and plan for that need.
