Would start the process for a referendum to add a constitutional right to adequate and appropriate housing, with special attention to children. The explanatory memo says it was prompted by rising homelessness, including nearly 3,800 children homeless in April 2019, up from 641 in 2011, and aims to make housing a clearer national priority in law and policy.
