The movement to shift more of our housing resources out of the private for-profit market and into the community-controlled social housing sector has gained momentum in recent years, with growing housing insecurity, unsustainable rent burdens, expanding homelessness, and gentrification pressures in many American cities. PRRAC has long supported the recognition of the right to housing and the expansion of the social housing sector.
