Overcoming disability discrimination: Disabled people, housing and social exclusion

Abstract

‘The first requirement of disabled people in participating as equal citizens within the community is a home which is suited to them’ (Swain et al., 1993). Disabled people are marginalised in housing and their housing opportunities reflect and compound their general social exclusion. The RNIB has produced a guide to overcoming disability discrimination especially for social landlords. This article introduces and gives an outline of that guidance.
