A group is calling on the government to enshrine the right to housing in the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, as part of a major reform to end homelessness.
In a list of recommendations made public Wednesday, the Quebec Collective for the Prevention of Homelessness (CQPI) also calls for a ban on short-term tourist rentals such as Airbnb, and also demands a “public, universal, mandatory and accessible” rental registry.
