Episode Notes

In Episode 221, I sit down with three people in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada who share with us the dismal disability housing options in Halifax forcing disabled people to live in seniors homes or institutions.  April tells us about how she was also put in an institution after having a routine procedure in hospital, and how she feels less than human.  Vicky talks about her experiences living in an institution since she was 21, and Andrew highlights his struggles with inaccessible housing and how it impacts him every single day.   Each story from April, Andrew and Vicky highlights how they feel trapped within a system that does not care about them.  I wanted to shine a huge light on this story today!
