  1. 8. Poverty, mental health and addiction

    From: Policy on preventing discrimination based on mental health disabilities and addictions

    People with psychosocial disabilities are more likely to have low incomes than people without psychosocial disabilities, and many people live in chronic poverty. In the OHRC’s mental health consultation, as well as in its housing policy consultation, it heard a great deal about the links between mental health, addictions and societal factors such as poverty, homelessness, lower levels of education, inadequate levels of public assistance and other social supports, and a lack of affordable housing. For example, many people who have psychosocial disabilities receive public assistance.

  2. 13. Duty to accommodate

    From: Policy on preventing discrimination based on mental health disabilities and addictions

    Under the Code, employers and unions, housing providers and service providers have a duty to accommodate the needs of people with psychosocial disabilities to make sure they have equal opportunities, equal access and can enjoy equal benefits. Employment, housing, services and facilities must be designed inclusively or adapted to accommodate people with psychosocial disabilities in a way that promotes integration and full participation.

  3. 15. Other limits on the duty to accommodate [256]

    From: Policy on preventing discrimination based on mental health disabilities and addictions

    While the Code specifies that there are only three factors that will be considered when determining whether the test for undue hardship has been met (cost, outside sources of funding and health and safety issues), in some cases, courts and tribunals have recognized that even where these three factors are not at issue, there is not a limitless right to accommodation.[257] There may be other narrow circumstances where it may not be possible to accommodate a person’s addiction or mental health disability.

  4. 17. Preventing and responding to discrimination

    From: Policy on preventing discrimination based on mental health disabilities and addictions

    The ultimate responsibility for maintaining an environment free from discrimination and harassment rests with employers, housing providers, service providers and other responsible parties covered by the Code. It is not acceptable to choose to stay unaware of discrimination or harassment of a person with a mental health disability or addiction, whether or not a human rights claim has been made.
