Overview

Mission

To promote accessible housing and inclusive communities for people with disabilities and seniors through education, consultation, and outreach.

What it reported doing in 2024

This year was one spent on planning for a re-focus of the organization's future activities. During the year, a new strategic plan was developed with a decision to emphasize increasing accessible housing. Besides the strategic planning, maxhousing also implemented an organizational restructure aimed at better positioning the organization to fulfill its mission. We continued to be involved with community efforts around accessibility and housing and to bring attention to these issues. We expect to be much more active in the year ahead.
