Neuroinclusive practices in housing: Stories, solutions, and systems

Description

This session features the Neuroinclusivity in Housing hub, a platform for sharing knowledge and resources gathered from Canadian and international sources that approach housing from a neuroinclusive lens. Building on prior initiatives in autism and housing, we will share suggestions and solutions we heard from community members and housing professionals that address issues such as independent living, inclusive building and space design, and supporting mental health and wellness. We will also explore the housing ecosystem and discuss the various ways that individuals, governments, and organizations can work together to move neuroinclusive housing forward.
