Is Housing a Human Right?

The dramatic housing shortage in California affects millions of residents and leads thousands to homelessness. The 2024 Arthur N. Rupe Great Debate addresses this issue by asking, “Is Housing a Human Right?” If so, our state faces a massive undertaking. Experts with diverse specialties and experiences wrestle with some of our biggest challenges. How, for example, can we build low and moderate income housing when construction costs are high and community opposition is often present? How can people experiencing homelessness be moved to shelter and housing? Recorded on 02/13/2024. [5/2024] [Show ID: 39667]

I'm sure that housing is not only a human right, but our collective government responsibility. This failure is a political choice, an attack on my people.
