Safe, secure housing is not a privilege but a fundamental human right. Lack of affordable housing places any individual at given time at risk of housing stress, making them susceptible to homelessness. However, consequences of housing stress and homelessness are even more dire on the lives of children and young people with disability, affecting their physical and mental health, education, employment, and leaving them at risk of exploitation and abuse. It can also trap them in a cycle of poverty, hindering their prospects for the future.
