OMSSA and Adaptability Canada
IMPROVED ACCESSIBILITY SOLUTIONS FOR THE SOCIAL HOUSING SECTOR:

Through a strategic partnership, Adaptability Canada will provide OMSSA members within the social housing sector with services to support the growth of affordable, accessible housing in Ontario. Our combined experience has shown the challenges are getting worse rather than better, including:

  • Increasing wait times and a growing list of seniors and people with disabilities waiting for accessible, affordable housing.
  • Mounting deferred maintenance costs posing a long-term risk to housing stock availability.
  • Aging and deteriorating housing stock further impacting availability and driving costs higher for accommodation.
  • Growing and unfulfilled demand for new affordable housing.
  • Lack of affordable turnkey solutions for non-profit housing to maintain their properties.

By working together, Adaptability Canada and OMSSA will help municipalities and their non-profit housing partners continue to create open, healthy and thriving communities, while maximizing the customer service excellence to seniors and people with disabilities.

As part of this program, OMSSA members are offered a 15% discount on Adaptability Canada’s consulting services. In addition, this program provides access to a variety of high quality, affordable and accessible construction solutions that help to improve service and accessibility of housing.
