Accessible Housing

What Accessible Housing does

Accessible Housing is a Calgary-based non-profit organization and registered charity (Charitable No.: 10668-2032-RR0001) founded in 1974 that provides accessible housing and personal support services to people with limited mobility across Alberta. Its core programs include Inclusio, a purpose-built 45-unit accessible apartment community in Capitol Hill featuring barrier-free design and shared amenities; Bridge to Home, a supportive housing program for transition to independent living; Chinook House, a supportive living residence; and RAD Renovations, which delivers accessibility modifications to existing homes. The organization also operates volunteer, sponsorship, and multiple donation programs including financial gifts, car donations, gifts of securities, and legacy giving, supported by an annual fundraising event called Dinner for Doors.

The business model is donation-driven, with revenue sourced from individual donors, corporate sponsorships, event-based fundraising, and charitable gifts. There is no proprietary technology product; the offering is physical housing capacity, renovation services, and wraparound support. Pricing is governed by an affordability principle targeting rents no higher than 30% of household income for people with disabilities. The go-to-market is community-led, relying on referrals, partnerships with social service agencies, advocacy at federal and provincial housing policy levels, and direct outreach rather than commercial sales channels. The organization engages in policy advocacy as host of the Federal Housing Review Panel's Western Canada oral hearing in June 2026 and partners with the National Housing Council, Federal Housing Advocate, and Alberta's AISH/ADAP disability income programs.

Customer segments include people with physical disabilities and limited mobility (primary), AISH/ADAP recipients transitioning between disability income programs, and seniors aging in place who require accessible housing features. The organization's service geography is Alberta, with operations anchored by its Calgary head office and the Inclusio residential location. Executive Director Krista Davidson Flint leads a team of 51-100 staff.
