Event Details
Everyone deserves a home that works for them.
The Right Fit Program, managed by Disability Alliance BC, is a multi-partner service designed to address the crisis in wheelchair accessible housing by matching affordable, accessible homes and independent living supports with people who need them in the Metro Vancouver region.
They provide peer-led navigation to wheelchair users and their families, including an assessment of disability support needs and match eligible clients to appropriate housing. Additionally, they identify wheelchair accessible housing stock and define “accessible unit” features with their Accessibility Checklist.
Recently, the Right Fit Program has expanded its services to the Capital Regional District (CRD), the regional local government for the southern tip of Vancouver Island and the southern Gulf Islands.
We hope you’ll join us for this Ask an Expert session, where you’ll learn about the The Right Fit Program and how you can participate.

At Spinal Cord Injury BC, our events are geared towards people living with spinal cord injuries (SCI) and related disabilities (whom we call “peers”). No matter where you are in the world, you’re invited to join us online. Please note that all event times are listed in Pacific time, PCT (UTC-7).
Peer support is at the heart of our work. Our events and activities are organized and led by people with lived experience of SCI and related disabilities, creating spaces where you can connect with others who truly understand.
If you need support to participate fully, such as help accessing Zoom or other accommodations, we’re happy to help! Recordings of webinars are also shared on our YouTube channel.
