SAM, LIKE MANY OTHERS REFUSE TO BE HOUSED. FEAR OF PAST EXPERIENCE WITH HOUSING PROVIDERS KEEPS SAM ON THE STREETS OF VANCOUVER'S "LOW TRACK."

D.E.A.L.S. is an organization created by disabled people for disabled people on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Social inclusion is our goal as we connect people with services; Social inclusion from our perspective does not have only one meaning: we have found by trial and work that social inclusion has many faces including and not limited to: a process for closing the distance between people; a state of individual or collective well-being; a metaphor for how we are alike as human beings; and/or a vision of where we want to be as a society (where distance can be social, economic, physical). Social inclusion points to needed changes in public policies, attitudes, and institutional practices. Equally important, social inclusion speaks to people’s lived experiences, as well as to policy and programme solutions.
