The right to housing for people with disabilities: Calls to action
The right to housing for people with disabilities: Calls to action - Text version
We are monitoring the right to adequate housing for people with disabilities in Canada. They face many barriers to housing. This needs to change.
27% of Canadians have a disability. That’s about 8 million people.Footnote 1
