The Shift is a global convening. 

From Berlin to Seoul, Montevideo to Montreal, we bring together governments, legislators, human rights institutes, urban planners, architects, scholars, grassroots groups, artists, philanthropists, lawyers, students, and NGOs to work collectively towards the full realization of the right to housing. 

We recognize housing as a human right, not a commodity or an extractive industry. The Shift restores the understanding of housing as home, challenging the ways financial actors undermine the right to housing. Using a human rights framework, our work provokes action to end homelessness, unaffordability, and evictions globally.
