I'll speak from some personal experience here. I had a little brother, Graham, who passed away a couple of years ago. He had both intellectual and physical disabilities. When he was a teenager, my parents started to worry about what his housing situation would be, not wanting to require either my older brother or me to provide housing and care for our sibling. Of course, I would have been happy to do so, but it was a situation that we ran into.
We were connected to Community Living Toronto. The wait times were outrageously long. He would have been a senior before he had the housing and the supports he needed. Instead, my mom was an incredible advocate. She got him an apartment through a special program called Lights, connected to Community Living, and put together basically an independent situation outside of the wait times we had.
There are those options available, but they can be expensive. They can be difficult to put together with the funding situation. I saw that first-hand. I think a huge part of the issue is around the supports that are needed for people with intellectual and other types of disabilities in housing. In their housing, we provide our clients, our service users, with many, many different types of supports. The wait times are lengthy. It's because we don't have the housing stock—either the accessible housing stock or the affordable housing stock—to deliver reasonable housing in a reasonable time.
