Human rights probe into disabled housing crisis in Scotland

Third Force News reveals that the housing crisis afflicting disabled people in Scotland is to be the subject of a major human rights investigation by Equality Human Rights Commission Scotland (EHRS).

Alastair Pringle, EHRS national director, confirmed it is taking action.

He told TFN: "Housing is the cornerstone of independent living. Without an accessible and appropriate home disabled people are likely to have difficulty in accessing education, employment, or participating in their family or community's life."
