Human rights-based housing targets and mechanisms for Canada / by Carolyn Whitzman.: HR34-27/2025E-PDF
"The purpose of this briefing paper is to provide guidance to the Federal Housing Advocate on targets and mechanisms she can recommend to the newly elected federal government that align with the right to adequate housing. The National Housing Strategy Act (NHSA) recognizes that "the right to adequate housing is a fundamental human right". It outlines the responsibility of the federal government to "develop and maintain a national housing strategy" to "progressively realize the right to adequate housing… taking into account key principles of a human rights-based approach to housing," with a "focus on improving housing outcomes for persons in greatest need." … This briefing paper reviews recent federal targets and mechanisms, including monitoring and interim evaluation targets, and recommends targets and mechanisms that align with the government's legal obligations under the NHSA. These evidence-based recommendations will allow the federal government to more effectively realize the right to adequate housing"--Introduction, page 6.
