L’Arche Canada has been working to ensure that more people in our communities can access the Disability Tax Credit (DTC), Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), and Canada Disability Benefit (CDB). Many people don’t realize they qualify for financial programs or they find the application process challenging. That’s why we’re sharing resources, hosting workshops, and offering hands-on support to help individuals and families navigate these benefits.
What are the benefits?
Disability Tax Credit (DTC)
A federal program designed to reduce taxes for people with disabilities and their families. It also serves as a gateway to additional financial supports.
Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP)
A long-term savings plan with government contributions to help individuals with disabilities build financial security.
Canada Disability Benefit (CDB)
A new federal benefit designed to provide income support for working-age Canadians with disabilities.
Partnering in a national project to identify and remove barriers to benefits and ensure people with intellectual disabilities guide inclusive solutions.
Connecting people with trusted resources, including easy-to-understand guides and one-on-one support.
Sharing easy-to-understand resources on the DTC, RDSP, and CDB.
Hosting workshops and webinars to guide individuals, families, and community members through the process.
