Advocating for Housing as a human right legislation for BC.
In 2019, the Federal Government recognised housing as a human right. More than a roof over one’s head, housing represents the right to security, peace, and dignity for all British Columbians. The BC Government has the opportunity to be leaders as the first province to adopt housing as a human right in provincial legislation. This would provide a much-needed framework for elected officials at all levels of government to think about housing and housing strategies, as well as the Reconciliation Strategy in British Columbia.
