Recommendation 15:

The general view by CCB and other stakeholders is that the census is grossly inadequate in fulfilling the information needs of people with disabilities, let alone people with sight loss. We need a national conference on the issue of data collection.

Recommendation 36:
The BC Government must prioritize building new affordable social housing throughout the province that is accessible to people with disabilities. Government should also increase access to private market housing options through a rental assistance program for low-income people with disabilities, and provide financial grants or supplements to cover the costs of accessibility changes or renovations that may be required so that a person with disabilities can reside in a given residence in a safe and accessible manner. These should include adaptations needed to facilitate parenting.
