Why This Matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many people living with MCS face serious barriers to safe and accessible housing. These may include chemical exposures, fragrances, renovations, smoke drift, pesticides, mould, shared ventilation, inaccessible shelters, lack of accommodation, and the high cost of healthier housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housing accessibility must include the indoor environment. People should not have to choose between protecting their health and having a place to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
