Who We Are
The ‘CARE’ in CARE Housing Society stands for Creating Accessible Residential Environments.
We are a non-profit organization that raises funds to purchase and maintain homes specifically for people with developmental disabilities. We are governed by a board of volunteer directors who are dedicated to supporting this at-risk group of people with stable, happy homes for their lifetimes.
Vision
To provide sustainable housing for youth and adults with developmental disabilities who need specialized care and support in uniquely equipped homes in Edmonton.
Mission
We build accessible homes to meet the unique needs of our residents. We change lives by providing security and peace of mind to families. We support our residents’ health and quality of life with safe, happy, and stimulating environments.
About Our Homes
If you provide care for a child or an adult who has a disability, you’ve likely wondered what their future looks like. Sometimes, picturing their future life can be challenging, or even frightening. CARE homes are designed specifically for our residents’ needs. The special “things” in your home that you think the person in your care won’t be able to get elsewhere?
We design and build homes to make sure our residents get those things! All of our residents and their families personalize their rooms to their tastes and needs — no two rooms are ever the same!
