A/68/289
Report of the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a
component of the right to an adequate standard of living,
and the right to non-discrimination in this context
Summary
In the present report, the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing builds on the
findings of her previous report (A/67/286) and analyses two alternative housing
policies — rental and collective housing — that can play a key role in the promotion
of the enjoyment of the right to adequate housing for those living in poverty. She
calls for a paradigm shift from the financialization of housing to a human rightsbased approach and recommends that States promote various forms of tenure,
including private and public rental, and collective tenure.
