ICC and Property Law Launch National Partnership to Transform Housing Solutions
We’re excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership between the Intentional Community Consortium (ICC) and Property Law, expanding our shared mission beyond Ontario to a national scale—empowering agencies across Canada to create sustainable housing for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Introducing The Consortium
The Intentional Community Consortium (ICC), founded in 2017, is a registered not-for-profit, representing Charities and Not-for-profit organizations, working to solve the housing crisis for those with diverse abilities across Canada.
Support Housing Investment
We are calling for three levels of government to continue their support for affordable housing, establishing pathways and continuing their collaboration with agencies.
Members of the ICC are dedicated to helping meet the growing demand for accessible supportive housing in Canada.
Member Projects
A home of one’s own is the cornerstone of independence for ALL persons. The supply of affordable, accessible, and supportive housing for people with diverse abilities remains far less than the need.
