AutismBC is pleased to collaborate with BC Housing for a talk on housing program such as Subsidized Housing and the Rental Assistance Program for autistic adults, and the BC Rebate for Accessible Home Adaptations (BC RAHA) for families with autistic children/adults. In this session, a representative from BC Housing will provide information about their housing program that are applicable for the autism community in BC.
