***Very little has changed for housing for people with disabilities since Confederation. Canada has gone through institutionalization, to an era of community experimentation, only to reinvent institutionalization with progressive-sounding programs. This presentation from representatives of the New Brunswick Coalition of Persons with Disabilities (NBCPD) and the Ontario Disability Coalition explore the systemic ableism at the core of accessible housing, and suggest ways to overcome discrimination in housing.

With Tracy Odell, Sherry Caldwell, Shelley Petit, Salvatore Amenta, and Maddy Dever
