The right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities 2017, para. 34
- Paragraph text
- “Respect for inherent dignity, individual autonomy including the freedom to make one’s own choices, and independence of persons” is a guiding principle set forth in article 3 (a) of the Convention that is particularly critical in the interpretation of the right to adequate housing. The deprivation of choice of where and with whom to live is often the most critical assault on dignity and autonomy for persons with disabilities.

- Homelessness for persons with disabilities is also linked to the breakdown of family relationships. A study in Montreal, Canada, of homeless persons with intellectual disabilities found that almost all individuals who lived on the street or in shelters had had no contact with their families since becoming homeless. On mission in Chile, the Special Rapporteur visited a homeless shelter run by the Salvation Army in Valparaiso where many of the residents were persons with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities who had been shunned or abandoned by their families.

- Mass displacement caused by situations of risk, including armed conflict, humanitarian emergencies and natural disasters, has catastrophic effects on persons with disabilities. In a survey by the United Nations, it was found that only 20 per cent of persons with disabilities could evacuate their living spaces immediately without difficulty in the event of an emergency and that a disproportionate number would be injured or die in the event of a disaster because their needs would not met by organized efforts. Persons with disabilities who are refugees, affected by disasters or living in conflict and post-conflict situations are especially vulnerable to mass, often repeated displacement, resource shortages, limited or non-existent services and access to rehabilitation or reconstruction and a wide array of security concerns.

- In Purohit and Moore v. the Gambia, the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights considered a case of forcible institutionalization without due process in the Gambia. The Commission not only found that the legislation itself violated provisions of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, but also took note of the obligation to progressively realize the right to health by addressing violations of socioeconomic rights. The Commission stated that, throughout Africa, poverty rendered persons “incapable to provide the necessary amenities, infrastructure and resources that facilitate the full enjoyment of [the right to health]” and read into the right to health the obligation of States parties to the African Charter “to take concrete and targeted steps, while taking full advantage of its available resources, to ensure that the right to health is fully realized in all its aspects without discrimination of any kind”.

- 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.

- 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
- Human rights protection in housing for persons with disabilities varies considerably among States. A growing number of countries have expressly included the right to housing in their constitutions or human rights legislation, and many also enumerate disability as a prohibited ground of discrimination. Some countries rely on universal guarantees of equality and non-discrimination, which are extended to persons with disabilities. In other countries, however, non-discrimination laws regarding disability are written in the context of specific sectors, such as employment, but fail to include non-discrimination and the duty to provide reasonable accommodation in the context of housing.

- 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.

- Freedom of choice for persons with disabilities is not just a civil and political right to freedom from forced institutionalization. In article 19 of the Convention, the right to be free to choose where and with whom one lives is set out as a positive right to be included in the community, with access to a range of residential and other support services. In addition, article 19 must be read in conjunction with and is reinforced by article 28 to require not only services but also adequate, accessible housing in which to live.

- In other circumstances, however, living with family is not an appropriate or safe option. Persons with disabilities are more likely to be subjected to abuse within families or other households. A study in Uganda found that half of interviewees with psychosocial disabilities reported having been subjected to abuse at the hands of their relatives. Another study found a high incidence of abuse among children with disabilities by someone upon whom they were dependent for survival and well-being. Individuals are sometimes tied or chained up by family members or left locked in isolation. The ability to speak out is limited by the individual’s isolation and dependence upon the perpetrator for support, and, in many situations, there is no one to turn to for help.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- The inability to afford adequate housing is frequently the greatest obstacle facing persons with disabilities in realizing their right thereto. They are more likely to live in poverty, and they have higher housing, equipment and health-care costs. Family income is reduced when a family member has to take on the role of support person. Inadequate levels of financial assistance and/or housing subsidies often make it impossible for persons with disabilities to obtain adequate housing and significantly increase the risk of homelessness.

In a similar vein, the Supreme Court of Argentina, in a case involving a homeless mother and her son with a disability, stated that there should be a minimum guarantee of access to housing for those facing situations of vulnerability because of disability and ordered the immediate provision of shelter.

- The experiences of persons with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities living in informal settlements and homeless encampments vary. In some cases, communities develop impressive informal networks to provide the necessary support and ensure inclusion in the community, providing community living that avoids institutionalization and segregation. In other situations, however, as observed first-hand by the Special Rapporteur on mission, informal settlements duplicate societal patterns of discrimination and isolation, exacerbated by deprivation of the most basic necessities.

- 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.

- Under its inquiry procedure, the Committee responded to concerns about violations of the right to adequate housing raised by persons with disabilities in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and by the previous mandate holder after her mission. The Committee documented the extremely punitive and damaging effects of austerity measures, including the removal of the spare-room subsidy and a reduction of the housing benefit for working-age social housing tenants. In Scotland, the reform affected 82,000 households, 80 per cent of which were households with adults with disabilities. The Committee concluded that the impact of those measures constituted “grave or systematic violations” of the rights of tenants of social housing with disabilities, including the rights to reasonable accommodation and non-discrimination, to independent living and being included in the community, to an adequate standard of living, including adequate housing, to social protection and to employment.

- Under article 13 of the Convention, it is required that persons with disabilities have effective access to justice in all stages of legal proceedings, on an equal basis with others. States should ensure access to justice for claims relating to the right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities, establish complaints and accountability mechanisms and ensure that courts are authorized and adequately resourced to hear and adjudicate claims relating to the right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities. National human rights institutions also have an important role to play in facilitating participation and effective monitoring by providing independent accountability mechanisms and in facilitating access to justice through complaints procedures or by supporting or initiating systemic claims before courts or tribunals.

- In only one communication considered under the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has a violation of article 28 been alleged. In the case of H.M. v. Sweden, a municipality refused to grant an exception to a development plan to allow the claimant to build a hydrotherapy pool required for the treatment of her health condition. Having found that the refusal of reasonable accommodation violated the claimant’s right to non-discrimination, as well as her rights under article 19, the Committee declined to decide whether that denial also violated article 28. It is noteworthy, however, that the Committee extended the remedy beyond the author’s individual circumstances, recommending that the State party ensure that “its legislation and the manner in which it is applied by domestic courts is consistent with the State party’s obligations under the Convention”. This is an example of the manner in which reasonable accommodation claims can give rise to individual as well as systemic and/or legislative remedies.

- Paragraph text
- Most housing and development is designed as if persons with disabilities do not exist, will not live there or deserve no consideration. Housing programmes and urban planning are rarely vetted for barrier-free design, and international development assistance for housing rarely includes requirements or resources for accessible housing. Housing funding and individual housing subsidies provided by many Governments are based on what are considered “normal” expenditures on food, housing and other necessities, without consideration of the higher expenditure requirements of persons with disabilities. Eligibility for credit or for rental contracts is usually assessed on the basis of the “normal” ratio of credit or rent to income, which would be unattainable and certainly not “normal” for persons with disabilities.

- For the Special Rapporteur, it is critical that both dimensions of States’ positive obligations be implemented on the basis of a robust standard of reasonableness. That means adopting reasonable measures to address the systemic need for adequate and accessible housing of persons with disabilities by implementing necessary programmes and budgetary allocations while also meeting the immediate obligation to accommodate individual needs. The requirement of reasonable measures in both contexts should be seen as a rigorous standard to be met, never as a defence for inaction.

- 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.

- Few States have developed rights-based strategies to address the housing circumstances of persons with disabilities within their jurisdiction, and even fewer have adopted a holistic and systemic approach. Many States continue to rely predominantly on charities and operate within an outdated charitable model in relation to disability. Where rights-based housing strategies and programmes have been developed, they are often not matched with commitments of funds or effective implementation. In other cases, policies may extend to provide support to accommodate physical impairments with respect to housing, but not psychosocial and intellectual disabilities.

In Singapore, the Housing and Development Board has committed itself to ensuring that barrier-free housing is implemented across its public housing sector, in which 80 per cent of the population resides, including through measures such as increasing elevator availability, Braille signage and voice synthesizers. In Brazil, in the Act on the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities (2015), it is required that 3 per cent of publicly funded housing be available to persons with disabilities.

- 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.
