In 2019, the National Housing Strategy Act was passed in Canada. This committed the federal government to upholding the right to housing as it is defined in international human rights law.The National Right to Housing Network (NRHN) is a group of over 350 key leaders, organizations, subject matter experts, and people with lived experience of housing precarity and homelessness, with a shared mission to fully realize the right to housing for all and ultimately eliminate homelessness in Canada.Our Network is dedicated to ensuring that the right to housing in Canada is meaningfully implemented. We do this by:- Bringing together a network of civil society voices in a collective voice that speaks to the implementation of the right to housing;- Working with Governments to develop Canada's right to housing architecture;- Identifying and testing solutions to systemic barriers in order to set precedents, address key gaps in the National Housing Strategy, and drive changes in housing policy and funding;- Exploring research on the right to housing;- Supporting community initiatives in order to build a housing rights culture in Canada;- Expanding the right to housing to provincial, territorial, and municipal jurisdictions.
