COVID-19 and The Human Right to Housing
 
The spread of COVID-19 has shed necessary light on the need for a right to housing. Individuals without stable housing face greater difficulty taking preventative actions and are more vulnerable to an outbreak of highly communicable diseases. The United Nations has issued guidance to protect the human rights of homeless people during the pandemic, including people living in encampments, and to prevent evictions.
