Despite a range of policies, promises, and protections, housing for people with disabilities—and specifically that considers the distinct experiences of women and gender-diverse people with disabilities—remains deeply inadequate in Ontario and across the country. People with disabilities face disproportionate rates of homelessness, housing insecurity, and housing inadequacy, and women with disabilities are especially likely to experience homelessness because of violence or abuse. This creates dangerous consequences when coupled with inadequate housing supports in communities across Ontario, a failure to centre accessibility in efforts to increase housing supply, and grossly inadequate social assistance rates for people with disabilities.

Join a conversation with civil society leaders and researchers about what is needed to ensure the right to housing for women and gender-diverse people with disabilities across the province, and the role of women and gender-diverse people with disabilities in leading responses to these housing failures.
