On April 2nd, 2026, Disability Alliance BC and our Right Fit Program partner Individualized Funding Resource Centre Society held a press conference at the Harmony Building in #Vancouver in an urgent effort to save the Right Fit. Speakers highlighted the immensely negative impact of the closure of the program due to the loss of federal funding; the closure leaves hundreds of wheelchair users without critical housing support.
