April 20 @ 6:30 pm – 7:15 pm
The Housing Continuum Series is a 7-part virtual learning series that introduces and discusses the range of housing types typically available in a community. The housing continuum represents an assortment of housing options and types, each critically important for different people at different times.
This session will focus on market housing, specifically ownership in the market. Market Housing is defined as stable private rental and homeownership housing where prices are determined by landlords, developers, and real estate markets without direct subsidies or affordability mandates. Costs fluctuate based on supply, demand, and economic conditions.
Participants attending these sessions will strengthen their knowledge of the housing options in their community and understand how each part of the housing continuum works. They will also increase their understanding of how different types of housing can be welcoming, accessible, and inclusive for Autistic and neurodivergent people.

This series will walk participants through each part of the housing continuum and provide real examples within Calgary.

Are you interested in creating a more inclusive community for everyone?

Join us for a virtual Lunch & Learn Thursday, March 14th from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.
We will start with a brief introduction of who we are and then dive into the 6 Principles that are instrumental in creating environments where everyone can thrive.
These 6 Principles – Communication, Environment, Structure, Flexibility, Emotion and Connection – are informed by and created collaboratively with Autistics themselves. We’ll go over each one, from tackling communication breakdowns to adding structure for success. And guess what? These Principles are not just for neurodivergent folks; they are for anyone aiming to create an inclusive, welcoming space at work or in their community. Towards the end of the presentation, we will open the floor to any questions and discussions! We are all about fostering inclusivity, so let’s create spaces where everyone can shine!
