| book description |

Housing has become a crisis of humanityâ€”one created by design and decades in the making. Leilani Farha has been in more homes than most people will ever visitâ€”a four-door sedan in San Diego, a lean-to by railway tracks in Lagos, a windowless motel room in Paris, a tent on a Toronto beach. What people tell her first is never that they need housing, itâ€™s that they want to be treated like human beings. Housing Inc.Â explains why they have to ask. Writing from the centre of global housing debates, Farha reckons with a crisis four decades in the making, engineered by dictators, presidents, and prime ministers, and perfected by the financial firms that turn homes into sites of extraction. The same logic that justifies dispossessing Indigenous Peoples of their lands and resources now prices out a generation, displaces tenants, destroys communities, and disappears homeless people. This crisis of humanity plays out in every country in the world. With fierce clarity, Farha argues that the fight for home requires not just better policy, but a different ideology altogetherâ€”one rooted in law, humanity, and imaginationâ€”where every person counts.
