Description
Sally Lindsay, Gözde Öncil, and Sarah Leo review discrimination in housing for disabled people in this 2026 paper. Safe, affordable housing is a human right, yet disabled people more often land in homes that are inaccessible, insecure, or poor quality.
Searching six databases turned up over ten thousand records, of which 52 studies from 13 countries over 47 years fit. Discrimination showed up in scarce suitable homes, blocked viewings, and high costs. It was fed by ignorance about disabled people's needs and by overlapping factors like income, disability type, and policy design. Neighbourhood problems compounded the harm. The authors demand policy reform and real investment in accessible housing.
