Watch our latest educational webinar

Posted on February 23, 2021November 15, 2021 by susan@newearthmarketing.com

On February 24, 2021, we partnered with the BC Non Profit Housing Association to present an educational webinar on Accessible housing for wheelchair users. Our team described the mandate and activities of The Right Fit, we covered the definitions of accessible housing, discussed the unique challenges wheelchair users face when searching for accessible homes, and the role housing providers can play in improving housing accessibility in British Columbia. Karen Williams, senior researcher with BC Housing and a member of the Right Fit Steering Committee described the role of BC Housing in supporting accessibility, the programs and resources available to housing providers, and how BC Housing works closely with the Right Fit to match accessible housing units to wheelchair users. If you have missed the webinar, you can still watch it on the BCNPHA website.
