NZ housing crisis a “significant human rights crisis”–UN special rapporteur
UN special rapporteur calls on NZ for bold human-rights approach to housing crisis
A visiting United Nations representative has called the country’s housing crisis a “significant human rights crisis” and says it is time the right to housing was wrenched from the hands of the private market.
“UN special rapporteur on adequate housing Leilani Farha has been in the country for 10 days on invitation from the government to independently investigate the state of New Zealand’s housing.
“At her press conference in Wellington today, Farha revealed her shock at the number of people living without dignity in New Zealand.
“The root of the crisis laid, she said, in the gutting of social housing and a speculative housing market.”
“What the government has done over successive years and successive governments is they have entrusted this fundamental human right in large part to private property owners and real estate investors. That’s pretty dangerous.”
“Farha discovered in areas, there were enough houses and apartments to buy or rent, but the supply only catered to those few who can afford them.”
