I think you have said it so well. I think these are really fundamental rights, and if they're not incorporated in all of our work, we are leaving behind those who are the most vulnerable amongst the most vulnerable.
I also know that in the communities we serve and those experiencing homelessness for a long period of time, disabilities aren't always the visible disabilities. Quite frankly, even for those with diagnosed disabilities, we know that within homeless community, many individuals did not have access in their lives to appropriate and timely assessments at times. Had they, now they would be qualifying for a level of support that others have available to them. It's just because of their circumstances, in that they were not really in a family environment network that enabled them to be appropriately diagnosed.
It needs to go back further and into the way that we actually determine, assess and identify that disabilities exist, because we have really failed to do that for people who are now adults and experiencing homelessness for long periods of time.
