Join ACCE?Thursday, January 12th,
2023, 12:00-1:30pm PST for UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and
Democracy's event on Right to Housing.
At a time of mass houselessness,
deepening tenant precarity, and the criminalization of poverty,
housing justice movements are pushing for a right to housing in
California. In this convening, current and former UN Special
Rapporteurs on Adequate Housing provide insight and guidance on key
elements of such a right, how such a right can be informed by an
international human rights framework, and how such a right can become
an actionable government obligation. In conversation with prominent
housing justice leaders, they will take up questions such as: What
does the right to housing mean for those without a right to recognized
housing, notably unhoused communities? How can the right to housing
address the effects of global financialization on housing markets and
housing systems? Is there a vision of social housing that can be a
core part of such a right? How might the right to housing remake
highly unequal relations of property and land?
