When one in every 100 people is homeless, half of whom are under 25 years; when thousands are living in vehicles or housed in motels provided by the State; when houses are in such disrepair that they cause otherwise-preventable illness and disease; and when middle-income earners are finding it difficult to afford an accessible and decent home, the result is not just a housing crisis, it is a human rights crisis of significant proportions” UN Special Rapporteur Leilani Farha said following her visit to the Aotearoa New Zealand in 2020. As she pointed out, these conditions are not only violations of the right to housing, but also of the rights to health, security, and life.
