Accessible (Modified) Housing
Some social housing providers have units that are modified to make them accessible for people using a wheelchair or with other special needs.
Durham Access to Social Housing (DASH) keeps the wait list for modified units with social housing providers. You must provide medical proof that you need a modified unit to be placed on the DASH wait list. If you are also eligible for rent-geared-to-income (RGI), you will begin to pay RGI when you move into the modified unit.

You may also be able to find modified units outside of social housing.
| Affordable housing |
| Affordable housing is rental housing that was developed with government funding. Rents in affordable housing are about 80 per cent of average market rents for similar units in the area. They keep their own wait lists and may also offer modified units.
Contact the affordable housing provider directly about a modified unit |
Other community housing providers |
| Some community housing providers in Durham Region are not funded by the Region of Durham. They keep their own wait lists and may offer market rent units, subsidized units or units that have been modified for accessibility.
Contact the federal housing provider directly about a modified unit |
