Disability Alliance BC (DABC)’s nationally recognized Right Fit Program will lose its federal funding as of April 1, 2026, forcing the program to close and leaving hundreds of wheelchair users without critical housing support.
To highlight the urgent impact of this closure, DABC are inviting the media and any affected community members to attend a press conference on Thursday, April 2 at 12:00 PM at the Harmony Building (1451 East 12th Avenue, Vancouver). Harmony is a Brightside Homes development in the Grandview-Woodland neighbourhood, featuring more than 30 accessible units and housing several Right Fit clients. Right Fit clients will be available for interviews.
A reminder that if you’re a person with a disability living on a low income in BC, DABC can help you file your taxes for the 2025 tax year and previous years!
Did you know that we offer drop-off tax services, for faster support? 💡If you have all of your tax slips ready and your tax situation is simple, you can bring your tax slips and ID to our office (1450-605 Robson St, Vancouver) and pick up your package once your taxes have been completed.
Tax AID DABC also offers one-on-one tax filing assistance in person, by phone, and by video conference. We can also help you gather the documents necessary to file your taxes. Book an appointment: https://taxaiddabc.org/tax-appointment-2/
This March, Disability Alliance BC is officially launching our monthly donor club, called the Advocats.
Advocats are supporters of DABC who choose to give monthly.
Monthly donations sustain our disability rights work all year long and allow DABC to plan ahead, respond when it matters, and continue advocating for the rights and dignity of people with disabilities in our community. Any amount you choose to give makes a difference.
We invite you to become an Advocat and join a growing community committed to disability rights and justice. As a token of our appreciation, monthly donors will receive an Advocats pin of their choosing.
