What is The Right to Housing about?

Housing is frequently regarded as a matter for the political sphere, rather than a fundamental human right. At most, housing is seen as a socio-economic right, progressively realizable subject to available resources. By contrast, protection against State intrusion into home, family, or private life is widely accepted as a core human right. Section II contrasts jurisdictions which derive the right to housing from the right to life or the right to respect for home and family life, with jurisdictions with an express constitutional right to housing. Section III examines how the right to a home has been balanced against rights of property owners. This section considers both procedural protections, such as the right to be heard, and substantive protections such as provision of alternative housing. Section IV assesses how courts have approached the substance of the right, and the challenge of defining ‘adequate’ housing. This entails an examination of how courts deal with polycentric issues. Section V considers housing as an equality right.
