We at AbleLiving embrace the independent living model whereby clients are expected to make their own decisions and direct the extent and method of assistance provided by our staff.

We have been serving our community for over thirty-five years and currently provide supportive housing and a variety of services for adults with disabilities who reside in Hamilton, Binbrook, Stoney Creek, Burlington and Mississauga. Our roots stem from the Hamilton Cerebral Palsy Parent Council, but we have grown substantially over the past three decades to help individuals not only with cerebral palsy but with any disability, which may include muscular dystrophy, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, developmental delay, brain injury, spina bifida, visual impairment, etc.

Our clients currently number about 800 with many more on a waiting list. In addition to our seven housing projects, some of which offer short-term rental units, AbleLiving also provides outreach services in clients’ homes, including both attendant and homemaking services. Our ReCharge programme offers in-home respite in the Mississauga / Halton regions which enables an individual's regular caregiver an opportunity to take a much needed break from their duties.

AbleLiving is a non-profit organization and registered charity. While funding from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care supplies the bulk of our funding, we rely on donations and fundraising to provide additional resources and assets to meet the growing need for our services in the community . We would like to thank all friends of AbleLiving who give their generous support.

Management at AbleLiving would also like to thank our Board of Directors, our caring staff as well as the many dedicated volunteers, all of whom give their time, effort and talents to make our community an inclusive one.
