The right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities 2017, para. 24
- Paragraph text
- Water, sanitation and hygiene facilities are often inaccessible and located some distance from the home. Those with mobility impairments may be dependent on assistance or forced to drag themselves along the ground to reach the facilities. In many situations, persons with disabilities are simply unable to gain access to toilets, must defecate in their homes and are often unable to remove waste. Streets or alleys in informal settlements are often sand, gravel or mud, sometimes built into steep cliffs and hill-sides, and are not accessible to persons in wheelchairs or with reduced mobility.

- Paragraph text
- In its recent white paper on the rights of persons with disabilities, the Department of Social Services of South Africa called for a comprehensive strategy to realize the right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities consistent with the transformative nature of the constitutional right to housing, including supported community living plans, subsidized housing support, universal design as a requirement in infrastructure grants and a sustainable community-based system for support for independent living. In the white paper, emphasis was laid on the critical importance of strengthening the enforcement of existing legislation, improving access to courts, complaints mechanisms and institutions and strengthening the capacity of institutions such as the South African Human Rights Commission and of organizations for persons with disabilities to support persons with disabilities in gaining access to justice.

- Cultural identity and expression are key to self-realization and inclusion in communities for many persons with disabilities. All the components of adequate housing identified above must be understood in the context of the right to culturally adequate housing. Accessible housing constructed on the basis of “universal” barrier-free design, for example, must respect diverse cultural identities.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur also emphasizes that reasonable accommodation in housing is often linked to systemic patterns of discrimination and imbalances in power “which result in a society being designed well for some and not for others”. The Supreme Court of Canada warned that reasonable accommodation claims should not be allowed to shield systemic discrimination from scrutiny or leave in place imbalances in power that have led to the neglect of the needs or perspectives of marginalized groups in the design of policies. It is important to ask, in each individual case, not only what is required by the individual person with a disability to ensure equality, but also why the housing system created the need for individual accommodation in the first place. Requests for modifications of buildings or housing policies are usually only made because those requirements were not adequately considered when buildings or policies were designed in the first place. Persons with disabilities must be empowered to challenge housing, planning and zoning, social protection and justice systems that fail to meet their needs and thus deny them access to adequate housing.

- Paragraph text
- Under article 9, States are required to ensure that all housing available to the public, including social and private rental housing, takes into account all aspects of accessibility for persons with disabilities. In the article, a broad range of accessibility issues “encompassing the physical environment, transportation, information and communication, and services” are addressed and obligations are established to: ensure physical accessibility, such as through ramps and accessible doors, as well as the accessibility of windows, bathrooms and kitchens; remove the communication barriers confronted by persons with disabilities applying for and living in housing; and ensure access to work, services and public spaces — in short, to ensure that all aspects of the housing environment are accessible. As the Special Rapporteur has consistently noted in her dialogue with government officials, under that article, States are also required to address economic and social accessibility barriers by ensuring sufficient benefits or housing subsidies to cover the cost of adequate housing and other services.

- Paragraph text
- Inaccessible housing and programmes designed without consideration of the needs of persons with disabilities deprive society of the benefits of the full participation of persons with disabilities in all areas of life and are costly to States. Moreover, reasonable accommodation of individual needs is considerably more costly and difficult than it would be if housing were designed to be accessible or easily modified.

- Paragraph text
- Persons with disabilities living in poverty in cities commonly live in informal settlements or homeless encampments. The Special Rapporteur has been shocked by the deplorable conditions endured by persons with disabilities in those contexts. Many, including young children and older persons, are left to languish in isolation, sometimes in dark rooms without electricity, hidden from view at the back of the home, without access to community centres, social opportunities or health clinics.

- 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.

- Paragraph text
- The Constitution of Kenya of 2010 prohibits discrimination on the ground of disability, affirms a right to reasonable access to all places, including the built environment and housing, and provides for the right to accessible and adequate housing. In the national disability policy of Kenya, it is recognized that ownership of land, housing and property is a fundamental human right of persons with disabilities, essential to security, self-reliance and livelihood. Through the policy, it is sought to eliminate barriers to acquiring and owning land, housing and property, such as high costs and societal prejudices against the ownership and inheritance of land by persons with disabilities. In all housing schemes, it is required to reserve at least 5 per cent of accessible houses for persons with disabilities, and accessible design standards are applied. In addition, inclusive financial and credit services targeting persons with disabilities are promoted.

- Paragraph text
- Few marginalized groups suffer such egregious violations of the right to housing as do persons with disabilities. Across the world, they are commonly homeless, institutionalized and subjected to cruel and inhuman treatment for no reason other than their disability. They endure isolation, stigmatization and discrimination in all aspects of housing, whether access, design or policy development and implementation. Their very lives are imperilled by housing and communities that are based on exclusion and uniformity rather than inclusion and diversity. Yet it is on the basis of those experiences and the claims to equal dignity and rights advanced by those affected that the disability human rights paradigm has emerged. This paradigm has the potential to breathe new life into the right to adequate housing because it underscores and amplifies the essence of that right, namely, having a place to live in dignity, it allows persons with disabilities to participate in their communities and it recognizes diversity as a strength that makes households and communities thrive.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur has proposed a new rights-based framework under which homelessness is understood as a deprivation of housing (both physical and social) but also as a socially constructed group identity that is linked to stigmatization and discrimination, much of which is rooted in perceptions about persons with disabilities. As a result, in most places, that population suffers severe isolation and neglect. Homelessness and related violations of the right to life often result from deinstitutionalization without adequate community support or affordable housing in the community.

- Paragraph text
- Effective remedies for violations of the right to adequate housing must be provided wherever possible by interpreting and applying domestic law consistently with the right to housing of persons with disabilities under international human rights law. The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights emphasized that “guarantees of equality and non-discrimination should be interpreted, to the greatest extent possible, in ways which facilitate the full protection of economic, social and cultural rights”. Unfortunately, even in the wealthiest countries, where there are sufficient resources to ensure the right to housing of persons with disabilities, courts have failed to interpret domestic human rights guarantees of equality consistently with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and refused to apply such guarantees so as to hold Governments accountable for failures to address widespread homelessness and inadequate housing among persons with disabilities.

- Information provided by States to the Special Rapporteur for the present report indicates that progress is being made. Mexico reports that its Federal Law for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities of 2011 and its regulation of 2012 explicitly provide for the right to dignified housing (art. 18). The legislation also establishes the right to universal accessibility and housing (art. 16) and is complemented by initiatives and programmes that provide subsidies and lines of credit to make physical alterations to houses to enhance living conditions for persons with disabilities.

- Subnational and local governments have also initiated important efforts to address the right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities. Article XIV (1) of the World Charter for the Right to the City provides for universal realization of the right to housing and emphasizes the need for accessible and suitable locations. In article X of the Global Charter-Agenda for Human Rights in the City, it is recommended that cities adopt regulations to ensure the accessibility of housing for persons with disabilities. Some cities have sought to initiate inclusive zoning policies to prevent restrictions on supportive housing. Others have adopted measures to address affordability, such as housing benefits and/or allowances, grants or loans for required adaptations, lower interest rates on housing loans and reduced housing taxes for families with a family member with a disability.

- Paragraph text
- The obligations of both public and private housing providers with respect to security of tenure must be interpreted and applied in the light of the overriding obligation to ensure the right of persons with disabilities to live in adequate and secure housing within the community, with access to services and support. States must ensure legal protection against forced evictions in all forms of housing tenure, from ownership and formal rental agreements to informal settlements. No eviction should be permitted that would result in the loss of housing or necessary forms of support for persons with disabilities. Where relocation is unavoidable or agreed to by those affected, alternative housing must be provided that meets all requirements for accommodation of disability and ensures access to community support. Persons with disabilities should not be required to move from the centres of cities, where there are services and opportunities for participation in social networks and employment, to outlying areas, where opportunities for meaningful social participation are fewer, leading to isolation.

- Paragraph text
- Equality and non-discrimination are crucial for the realization of the right to housing of persons with disabilities under article 28. States must take positive measures to the maximum of available resources to address systemic homelessness and deprivation of housing, which disproportionately affects persons with disabilities, and to strive towards the full realization of the right to adequate housing for all persons with disabilities. In the Convention, it is made abundantly clear that the right to non-discrimination of persons with disabilities is not simply a negative right, requiring Governments and private actors to refrain from actions that exclude persons with disabilities, but also a positive right, requiring them to take measures to ensure the enjoyment of the right to housing. As Andrea Broderick notes, “the intersection of equality and socioeconomic rights in the [Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities] may provide a key to unlocking the structural inequalities which disabled people, and by extension other marginalised groups, have encountered for too long now”.

- Paragraph text
- The most substantive remedies with respect to the right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities have tended to emerge from claims relating to deinstitutionalization and forced evictions. In the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in Olmstead v. L.C., the Court recognized that States had an obligation, pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, to take reasonable measures to ensure that persons with psychosocial disabilities were able to live outside institutions in the least restrictive environment, with a waiting list for services that moved at a “reasonable” pace. The federal Government, through the Department of Housing Urban Development, has provided guidelines and support to states to encourage the implementation of the decision. In another case under the Act, an appeals court ordered a private landlord to be flexible with respect to employment and income qualifications for rental housing, recognizing their exclusionary effect on persons with disabilities.

- Security of tenure is a cornerstone of the right to housing. Persons with disabilities are less likely to enjoy security of tenure and often experience catastrophic results owing to displacement and forced eviction. They often lose not only their physical home but also a network of support and contacts, without which they may not survive.

Finland stated that it considered those currently living in institutions to be homeless and had set a deadline of 2020 to close all institutions, emphasizing the right to live in the community with access to the necessary services and forms of support.

- Standards of habitability vary considerably with different impairments and must respond to both the physical and the social dimensions of housing. Persons with disabilities may find it difficult to build habitable homes in informal settlements and face challenges in relation to maintenance and repair. Protection against violence or abuse is also critical to ensuring habitability for persons with disabilities. Physical modifications may be required to ensure habitability, such as sound-proofing of apartments for persons with autism.
