Housing is a Human Right - Protest

Organised by the National Homeless and Housing Coalition

Assemble 1pm at the Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square, Dublin.

Arise – Protest – Organise

#April7th #LetsOrganise

Our demands are:

1. The housing and homelessness situation should be declared an
emergency.

2. An end to economic evictions: No loss of principal residency due to economic distress.

3. Regulation of the private rented sector. Security of tenure and rent certainty. Greater enforcement and inspection. Limit rent rises to a link such as the consumer price index. Public led provision of student accommodation. A charter of housing rights for all renters in the private sector (including students).

4. A local authority led emergency response to the housing crisis
addressing the issue of vacant units, including the use of compulsory purchase orders and the refurbishment of existing units to meet public housing targets.

5. Public policy should aim to increase the output of public housing to an annual rate of 10,000 units per year by late 2018/early 2019 at an estimated cost of €1.8 billion per annum. At least three quarters of these must be provided by local authorities.

6. Additional capital expenditure of €1,150 million in 2018 on top of 2017’s planned €655 million provided from the fiscal space available for 2018 and additional tax measures such as the fast-tracking of the vacant site levy and by borrowing. Greater flexibility as regards the application of EU fiscal rules for investment in public housing.

7. An integrated strategy of well-planned mixed income housing provided by the local authorities on publicly owned land.

8. Redirect the billions spent on subsidising private landlords to the provision of public housing while continuing and improving necessary rent assistance.

9. The development of a cost rental model as a matter of urgency. Adoption and adaption of NERI’s March 2017 proposals for a European cost rental model.

10. Land zoned for housing that is owned by local authorities should be used primarily to provide public housing by local authorities, instead of being made available to private developers.

11. Decent pay and working conditions in the construction sector aiming for the use of unionised and direct labour.

12. Full expenditure of improved funding for Traveller accommodation.

13. Socially inclusive and energy efficient standards for public housing.

14.An end now to emergency provision for families in bed and breakfast accommodation and the provision for them of suitable public housing. Improved and expanded hostel accommodation for homeless people on the street.

15. Steps taken to inscribe the Right to Housing in the constitution.
