Experiencing Homelessness for Families with Disabled Children (ALIGN)
Homelessness significantly worsens the challenges faced by families with disabled children, increasing stress, disrupting routines, and limiting access to essential resources and support systems. Children with disabilities are more vulnerable to the negative impacts of homelessness, potentially facing long-term consequences for their physical and mental health, education, and overall development.

New Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP) Launching July 2026 (Alberta.ca)
People with disabilities shouldn’t have to choose between getting the support they need and having the opportunity to pursue a meaningful career. Albertans with disabilities and the organizations that support them have said loud and clear they want supports that meet their unique needs and abilities, rather than the current one-size-fits-all solution.
Natural Disaster Emergency Preparedness for Agencies
Emergency preparedness for forest fires, heat waves, floods and tornados is critically important for human service agencies that serve children, youth, and families. These populations are especially vulnerable during disasters, and agencies must be equipped to protect their safety, ensure service continuity, and support long-term recovery.
