Reflection on work undertaken in first 14 years of the mandate; outline of opportunities and priorities 2014, para. 49
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Substantive equality obligations in terms of housing are often linked to the obligation to progressively realize the right to adequate housing. Overcoming systemic patterns of discrimination and inequality with regard to people with disabilities, displaced persons, women with children and other groups relies on the implementation and development of programmes and strategies over time. Reasonable accommodation, as is the case with progressive realization, is subject to limitations linked to available resources. The Special Rapporteur intends to consider how these principles of non-discrimination and equality apply to the housing experiences of particular vulnerable groups.
