Mission

The Campaign to Restore National Housing Rights (CRNHR) is a national coalition led by grassroots organizations working across the country to call on the U.S. government to reclaim its historic commitment to fulfill its human right to housing obligations and ensure decent housing for all.

We are united to reframe the debate around housing from one that conceives of housing as a mere commodity through a human rights framework to one that understands housing as vital to human development and the securement of basic human needs.  Our aim is to continue building a strong human right to housing movement in the United States to:

• Expose the systemic problems in our nation’s housing policies that have led to mass displacements, rising homelessness, and substandard conditions
• Provide human rights-based policy solutions
• Promote models of participatory development built upon human rights principles
