Last year, U.N. Special Rapporteur Raquel Rolnik spent considerable time in the United States, traveling the country and speaking with advocates and other interested parties, to examine how well the United States is succeeding - or not - in providing a right to housing for all people living in this country.
Recently, the Special Rapporteur released her report. It's a tour de force - reflecting everything that NPACH and other affordable housing and homelessness advocates have been saying for years about the current affordable housing crisis in the United States, the government disinvestment in production and preservation of affordable housing that caused the crisis, and the solutions to the crisis.
