Nurse says justice delayed is justice denied and highlights reorganization
Nurse responds to the story of a tenant who died waiting for an accommodation and says justice delayed is justice denied. She hopes the hearing will show how CCHR resources and structure affect access to housing, employment, and daily necessities.
The heartbreaking story that Chair Hanif shared about someone who died while waiting years for a disability accommodation emphasizes something we already know to be true, which is that justice delayed is justice denied.
That is why our main goals today are so important.
We hope this hearing will shine a light on how CCHR's resources and organizational structure have real,
tangible impacts on how people with disabilities can enjoy access to secure housing, employment, and day-to-day necessities without discrimination or undue disadvantage.
My co-chair noted CCHR's recent reorganization, something that I'm hoping will be able to positively impact its workflows, and this is something we've discussed in multiple hearings before,
and especially how quickly people can have their complaints resolved.
At the end of the day, that is what's most important, is that there is relief.
for those facing discrimination and hardships due to discrimination.
