Housing is a fundamental human right, yet for millions of disabled people in Ontario, this right is still out of reach. Rising disability rates, limited accessibility, and ongoing affordability challenges make the need for adequate, affordable, and accessible housing more urgent than ever.
Our white paper, Disability and Housing in Ontario, explores the current landscape and highlights what needs to change to ensure the realization of the right to housing for disabled people.
This white paper examines:
- Housing challenges faced by disabled people in Ontario
- Opportunities to strengthen federal programs in addressing disability-specific needs
- Areas for improvement in provincial policies and accessibility laws
- Municipal planning and accessibility challenges
- Accessibility and affordability as key to the right to housing
- Data and evidence gaps that hinder effective policy and planning
