DESCRIPTION:The ERC EVICT-project team (https://www.eviction.eu/) invites you to join our EVICT Talk on Housing First Policy and Practice. On the 12th of December 2023 (from 6-7 PM CET Amsterdam / Berlin / Paris)\, EVICT will have the pleasure of hosting Dr. Damian Collins (Human Geography Program\, University of Alberta\, Canada).\n\nRealising the Human Right to Housing? Housing First in Policy and Practice\n\nIn 2017\, Canada adopted a human rights-based National Housing Strategy\, and in 2019\, the human right to housing was recognised in domestic law for the first time. However\, in the decade prior\, Canada had embraced Housing First as its response to chronic homelessness. Housing First has often been described as a "right-based" response to homelessness because it offers direct access to permanent housing with few conditions and understands housing as a universal human need and entitlement.\n\nDamien will discuss two studies his team conducted to understand if and how Housing First in Alberta\, Canada\, realises the human right to housing for people experiencing homelessness. He will present their evaluation of policy documents to assess the use of rights-based language\, and the extent to which policies sought to fulfil seven components of the right to housing.  He will also present their evaluation of the operations of Housing First programs against four key human rights principles.\n\nThis talk will highlight the key findings of these studies and reflect on both the strengths and limitations of Housing First in policy and practice.  He will demonstrate how policies and programs can be systematically evaluated from a right to housing perspective and argue for greater attention to the human right to housing within the social sciences.\n\n------\n\nPowered by addevent.com \nShare your next event with us!\n
