why it matters
You can’t shelter-in-place if you don’t have shelter in the first place: this pandemic has revealed deadly inequality in housing. As we re-emerge, everyone must have a safe home.

relief
Space is safety, shelter is survival. Suspend all rent and mortgage payments - no foreclosures or evictions during the crisis. And no debt bombs waiting on the other side.

recover
As governments invest in economic recovery, we must solve the housing crisis. That means lots of new publicly owned, affordable and safe housing, lower rents, and strong tenant protections.

reimagine
The earth is the home we all share. A Global Green New Deal can take housing out of the market, provide zero-carbon beautiful public housing for all, and uphold Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination.
