No. 32 of 2016Thirty-fifth Amendment of the Constitution (Right to a Home) Bill 2016
Public bill · Private Member · Introduced
The proposal would add a new constitutional right to housing, stating that all citizens have a right to adequate, suitable, secure, safe and affordable homes. It would also require the State to use its laws and policies to take proper steps to make that right real, guided by social justice. It matters because it would place housing much more firmly at the centre of State responsibility.
