Mission Statement

Habitat International Coalition (HIC), the global movement specialized in human settlements since 1976, comprises some 450 members in 80 countries, in the North and South. They include NGOs, community-based organisations, social movements, academic and research centers, professional associations and like-minded individuals dedicated to the struggle against deprivation of well-being and for realizing the human right to adequate housing for all.

 

HLRN shares with general HIC a set of objectives that bind and shape HLRN's commitment to communities struggling to secure housing and improve their well-being and living conditions as a human right. HLRN seeks to:

  • Advocate the recognition, defence and full implementation of everyone’s right everywhere to a secure place to live in peace and dignity;

  • Promote public awareness about human settlement problems and needs globally;

     

  • Defend the human rights of the poor, displaced, homeless and inadequately housed.

     

  • Maintain a progressive platform for formulating common housing-rights strategies.
