Today is #InternationalDayForPersonsWithDisabilities. Housing inadequacy disproportionately affects persons with disabilities. Compared to the total population, Canadians with disabilities are more likely to live in unaffordable rental housing & housing in need of major repairs.
Renters with disabilities may also face discrimination and illegal behaviour from some landlords when applying for rental housing, or while they are living in their unit – with limited recourse available to them to protect themselves and their rights.
The dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities includes access to adequate, affordable and secure housing. Housing insecurity among our disabled population is just one of the many reasons that we need #SecureHomes now.
