Human rights and housing resources for environmental sensitivities released
Project supported by a grant from Law Foundation of Ontario
Non-profit Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation developed a toolkit to help community workers support clients with environmental sensitivities in rental housing.
The project was funded through a Connecting Communities grant from the Law Foundation of Ontario, the foundation said in an announcement on Sept. 3.
According to the law foundation, people with environmental sensitivities, also known as multiple chemical sensitivity, become can become severely ill or disabled despite contaminants being at levels low enough to have no visible effect on most people. The foundation cited Ontario’s Human Rights Code, which states that landlords and housing providers have a legal obligation to respond to the needs of tenants with disabilities, such as environmental sensitivities.
