Pittsburgh area residents and others are invited to join community housing advocates to learn about what’s driving rising housing costs, find out how tenants can defend their rights and improve conditions, and hear how community activists and organizations and elected officials are working to bring new solutions to the deepening crisis of housing insecurity. Although housing is a human right protected under both national and international law, governments haven’t done enough to guarantee all people–especially the most vulnerable– a right to a safe and secure home. We believe that a better city is possible. Be part of the work to realize a city where everyone can enjoy safe, stable and affordable housing.
Keynote speaker: Tracy Rosenthal, co-founder, Los Angeles Tenants Union & co-author of Abolish Rent: How Tenants can end the Housing Crisis (Haymarket Books)
Co-sponsors: Pittsburgh Housing Justice Table, Human Rights City Alliance, City of Pittsburgh Commission on Human Relations, The Global Switchboard, University of Pittsburgh Department of Sociology, Urban Studies Program
