Abstract
Housing is the basis of stability and security for an individual
or family. The centre of our social, emotional and sometimes
economic lives, a home should be a sanctuary; a place to live in
peace, security and dignity… Housing has been financialised: valued
as a commodity rather than a human dwelling, it has become,
for investors, a means to secure and accumulate wealth rather
than a place to live in dignity, to raise a family and thrive within
a community… Deprivations of the right to adequate housing are
not just programme failures or policy challenges but human rights
violations of the highest order, depriving those affected of the most
basic human right to dignity, security and life itself.
