Cities of Inclusion

A City of Inclusion is a city where all people with disabilities lead healthy and fulfilling lives as respected members of their communities. Using an approach driven through collective impact, Cities of Inclusion brings together community members, disability advocates, and leaders across the business, health, education, government, and nonprofit sectors to transform the way systems work together across a city to be more inclusive for all peoples with disabilities. Cities of Inclusion focuses on five core pillars of education, employment, health, housing, and access to information & services. Within each pillar, we identify how to make the systems people with disabilities navigate more accessible and better positioned to ensure individuals can access what they need to be successful.
