The right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities 2017, para. 54
Paragraph- Original document
- Paragraph text
- The availability of services is essential to independent living and agency over where and how to live in the community. Access to water and sanitation is a priority issue for many persons with disabilities. In addition to the core services identified in general comment No. 4, States must ensure that persons with disabilities have access to a diverse range of services linked to living autonomously, as articulated in article 19 of the Convention, including in-home, residential and community support services. Services should be matters of free choice for persons with disabilities, not linked to security of tenure or residency.
