SUMMARY:What's New in Housing in 2024!
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join Amy Tatterton of the Sinneave Family Foundation and Drewe Rowbotham of the Autism Housing Network of Alberta and Autism Edmonton for a candid discussion of emerging trends in housing for neurodiverse Albertans across the province. \nHousing is front and center on the Nation’s agenda for public policy. Rural and Urban Albertans are struggling to afford rent or a mortgage. How can we advocate for more affordable housing? \nCanada has legislated a need for a National Autism Strategy. How will this call to action affect housing for Autistic Albertans? \nWhat tools and resources can Albertans expect to see which can help ease the difficulty in finding safe\, affordable and appropriate housing? \nJoin us as we discuss the broad context of housing and how it might look for Albertans moving into 2024. Add your voice to the conversation\, as together we are shaping public policy. \nTo reserve your ticket for this virtual “Lunch & Learn” click the button below that says\, “What’s New in Housing Virtual Presentation.” When you click the button\, you will be directed to an external Eventbrite page where you can secure your spot. \nWhat’s New in Housing Virtual Presentation  \n  \nAbout the Presenters: \nDrewe Rowbotham is the Housing Coordinator for Autism Edmonton and facilitator and curator of the Autism Housing Network of Alberta (AHNA) with the Autism Society of Alberta.
