Show Notes
Right Fit program, a vital initiative in Vancouver, providing accessible apartments for wheelchair users, is shutting down due to a federal funding cut. The program, launched in 2017, helped 371 individuals find independent living spaces, expanding to other cities. The abrupt closure threatens to push hundreds into homelessness, with advocates and MP Jenny Kwan urging Ottawa to reinstate funding.
