Jean & Howard Caine Apartments

The Jean and Howard Caine Apartments in Oakville, a 59-unit apartment building with 24 accessible units. On site support is provided to individuals with physical disabilities in these units. Here people with physical needs are served on a 24-hour, 7-day a week basis. Jean and Howard Caine Apartment Building is very much emblematic of March of Dimes' Canada vision, of inclusiveness and independence, of community engagement and the full participation of people with disabilities. The Jean and Howard Caine Apartment Building was the first established by March of Dimes Non-Profit Housing Corporation, which was created in 1992 to develop and promote affordable supportive housing for people with physical disabilities. The 59-unit building has 24 specially designed support care units to allow people with physical needs to live safely and independently in their own homes. It was with the generous support of governments of all levels, federal, provincial and municipal that this apartment building was constructed, and it remains a model for all of March of Dimes Non-Profit Housing Corporation endeavours. This building was named to honour Jean and Howard Caine, who along with their daughter Pamela, a polio survivor, were devoted disability advocates who dedicated their lives to promoting the need for accessible and affordable living spaces that adults with disabilities could call their own. Pamela was an inaugural member of the first Non-Profit Housing Corporation Board.
