We 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 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 560 with many more on a waiting list. In addition to our seven housing projects, some of which offer short-term rental units, Participation House also provides outreach services in clients’ homes, including both attendant and homemaking services.

Participation House 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 develop new initiatives and meet the growing need. Thanks to all friends of Participation House who have given their generous support.

Management at Participation House 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.
