Description
Abstract This article presents research findings from a larger research project entitled "Finding our Way Home" which explored the narrative accounts of end-of-life transitions of 24 people with disabilities living in inner-city Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada as well as of 8 service providers with a special emphasis on their housing needs during these transitions. We suggest that end-of-life transitions for people with disabilities who live in Winnipeg's inner-city, especially those related to housing, are complicated by poverty, feelings of safety and security, the provision of appropriate supports and other life circumstances. End-of-life housing issues for these people have become issues related to home--creating, maintaining and going home.
