A/72/128 implementation. 68 In other cases, policies may extend to provide support to accommodate physical impairments with respect to housing, but not psychosocial and intellectual disabilities. 70. 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. 69 71. 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. 72. Under the National Disability Council Act of 2004 of Namibia, a council is established to monitor the implementation of a national policy on disability, including ensuring adequate allowances and pensions for persons with disabilities and developing and providing accessible housing through public schemes. 70 73. Under the Persons with Disabilities Act (2012) of Zambia, an agency is established that coordinates consultation with organizations of persons with disabilities, State institutions and other civil society actors to integrate a disability perspective into national policies, plans and decision-making sectors, and that can make representations on behalf of or provide legal assistance to persons with disabilities in proceedings relating to the rights of per sons with disabilities (art. 20 (2) (e)). 74. Finland reported that its framework for advancing the right to housing for persons with disabilities included: the constitutional protection of the right to housing; the provision of supportive housing and community-based support with a commitment to self-determination in the use of forms of support and services; funding for building and renovating housing to make it accessible and suitable; national action plans on homelessness; and a range of supervisory mechanisms, including an advisory board for the rights of persons with disabilities to oversee coordinated efforts. 71 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. __________________ 68 69 70 71 20/23 See the submissions for the present report by Inclusion Ireland and Profound Ireland.
