Housing Justice.mp4

<aside> <img src="/icons/info-alternate_yellow.svg" alt="/icons/info-alternate_yellow.svg" width="40px" /> Housing justice centers the importance of permanent and sustainable means of shelter as critical to health. Even though housing is a fundamental human need, marginalized groups of people are increasingly deprived from housing. Women, trans people, people of color, people with disabilities, immigrants, and poor people frequently face housing discrimination, displacement, and eviction into homelessness--and these inequities are exacerbated by intersecting oppressions. Housing stability is strongly related to health outcomes, and the increasingly high cost of housing becomes an important concern for feminists given that income levels vary drastically by race and gender. Women of color and single mothers, for example, spend a third of their income or more on housing. Intersectional feminist and health justice approaches to housing justice recognize the interconnectedness of oppressions and seek to build robust solutions to housing deprivation that bring about housing for all.
