In this report, the Rapporteur builds on the findings of her previous report regarding housing finance, and analyses two alternative housing policies — rental and collective housing — that can play a key role in the promotion of the enjoyment of the right to adequate housing for those living in poverty. She calls for a paradigm shift from the financialization of housing to a human rights based approach and recommends that States promote various forms of tenure, including private and public rental, and collective tenure.
