Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF)

The Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF) funds organizations, businesses, and other eligible recipients to improve accessibility and/or safety for people with disabilities by funding new construction, renovation, and/or retrofit activities that will contribute to reducing waitlists for persons with disabilities to access programs, services, and/or support. Recently, the federal government re-opened the intake for EAF – Mid-Sized Projects. The mid-sized projects component gives funding for larger construction projects. These projects must offer a suite of programs and services to include persons with disabilities in: • their communities, • and the labour market. Contributions can be up to $3 million per project. Eligible projects may include: • constructing or renovating centres or hubs that offer programming and services for persons with disabilities in their communities. • expanding existing centres or hubs that offer programming and services for persons with disabilities in their communities.
