Is decent housing a human right?

[Magoo]

Maybe we need to build public shelter areas, where folk can come to rest with basic hygiene facilities. If bus shelters are attractive overnight resting places for the homeless, maybe we need to provide more of those kinds of roofed places for those who cannot cope with a politically motivated  bureaucrats idea of a safe healthy home. Community shelter, like community gardens.

It has to be better than a doorway or under a bridge, surely.

this is what i think we have an obligation to provide.
shelter and in every aspect the word entails.
safe, warm lodging, somewhere clean and functional with laundry facilities and kitchens.
in a communal setting where access to the support needed to find permanent housing is available.

we already have a place where this could happen. the marae.
there would have to be a paradigm shift in attitudes before that could happen.
