Canada has a long and successful history of housing programs that have provided a good home to literally hundreds of thousands of households, but much of that history has been shredded by almost two decades of funding cuts, downloading and cancellation of programs at the federal level, and also at lower levels of government. That's the official verdict of Miloon Kothari, the United Natons' Special Rapporteur on the Right to Adequate Housing. The full report will be presented to the United Nations' Human Rights Council on Monday. The Wellesley Institute was pleased to help organize the civil society portion of Mr. Kothari's fact-finding mission to Canada, and also to provide research and policy assistance.
