IN much the same way other nations such as France have created policy and law around enforceable housing rights and subsequently experienced plummeting homelessness rates, the United States should take up the cause and establish a housing rights framework in much the way our social and education programs have set global standards of basic human rights. We must break the cycles of homelessness by digging at root causes and addressing chronic suffering. We mustn't allow our citizens to be without housing in this our land of abundance.
