Right to Housing in Canada

Affordable housing has become one of the most debated issues in Canadian politics, with numerous polls indicating that it ranks among the biggest concerns for people across the country.

At the same time, the right to housing has emerged as one of the key topics in the discussion around solutions to the crisis. Be it questions around encampments in public spaces, homelessness, evictions, discrimination in housing, or a variety of issues Canadians face when trying to access affordable housing.

Join housing rights scholar Dr. David Fried DesBaillets as he presents the new CHRA primer on the right to adequate housing- R2H- in Canada. A practical guide designed to help housing professionals and community organizers in their efforts to promote affordable housing.

This Webinar will not only outline the basic concepts of R2H for participants but also engage them in discussions using real examples of housing sector best practices. As well as sharing scenarios where they can apply R2H principles to potential housing challenges, they might face in real life.
