Families often tell us that one of the more challenging aspects of future planning for a family member with a disability is creating and exploring options for home. In response, P4P offers a unique program in partnership with housing expert, Kelly Casey, aimed at helping families plan and create their housing vision for the future.
In this 10-week facilitated workshop called Crafting Your Individualized Housing Action Plan, families gain practical tools, expert guidance, and a supportive space to take real steps toward helping their family member create a home of their own.
Our next workshop starts this Fall on Tuesday, September 23, 2025 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm EST. The program will run over the course of 11 weeks each Tuesday, with 6 whole-group sessions, 3 facilitation sessions, and 1 consultation with Kelly. The final date of the workshop will be December 2nd, 2025.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
- The 10-week workshop is a comprehensive and intensive learning experience for families. Prior to enrolling in the workshop, families will be asked to complete a check list of tasks that would be nice to have in place before starting the workshop – this is not a however requirement and we will be able to work on these things during the workshop as well.
- This workshop is meant for one individual and one plan at a time. If you have more than one family member requiring a housing plan, please reach out to Anna Bruno at abruno@p4p.ca.
- This workshop is not meant for families who are in crisis. Please contact your local DSO if you are experiencing changes in your situation which has left your family in a vulnerable position.
