Accessible Housing is a nonprofit organisation and registered charity, which helps open doors to homes that are both accessible and affordable for people with limited mobility, a growing population with unmet needs in the province of Alberta. Recognising a need in the community for increased mobility-restricted and cost-effective housing, the Accessible Housing Society undertook the development a 45-suite home known as Inclusio. Through the initial design, development and operation of Inclusio, Accessible Housing gained a great deal of knowledge about not only construction design and development but also additionally, how the services provided integrate in the most useful way for residents within the building design. Through a generous grant provided by the Alberta Real Estate Foundation, Accessible Housing has been able to gather this learned information and share the story of Inclusio with many stakeholders.

Accessible Housing Society
Helping people with limited mobility since 1974. It all began in the 1970’s with the Fourth Dimension group home, Calgary’s first shared living accommodation for 12 people with spinal cord injuries. It was believed that this building would allow people with disabilities to be seen in a new dimension, hence the “Fourth Dimension” name. That dream has since grown.
