Housing challenges for people living with multiple chemical sensitivity

 

We announce a survey opportunity for people with multiple chemical sensitivity and the housing challenges they face. This survey and the research that will be based on it can help lead to safer housing.

Please note that the survey ends by August 8, 2025.

The Nomads Need Accessible Housing

It is bitterly cold now as the nomads, women in their 70s and 80s, gather in their vans and cars in the department store parking lot on a bitterly cold night. The common thread in their stories is how they were forced out of their homes because their bodies could not tolerate smoking or other triggers of their asthma or multiple chemical sensitivity. Multiple chemical sensitivity is a condition in which the body’s immune and neurological systems cause symptoms similar to allergies, symptoms that can be disabling.
