The event was a prelude to the housing rapporteur who presented his thematic report on \u201cLand and the Right to Adequate Housing\u201d the following day to the UN General Assembly.<\/p><p>Later in the day Mr. Rajagopal was the featured speaker in an event titled \u201cEnding Homeless Criminalization: Enforcing Human Rights.\u201d The focus of the early evening event looked at how the criminalization of people who with no other alternative, sleep in places considered unfit for human habitat. In early June the Rapporteur heard from community members, advocates and people with lived experience how people were being targeted in cities across the US after the June 2024 supreme court decision in the City of Grants Pass vs Johnson case.<\/p><p>After the Rapporteur opened the conversation, he was followed by the Siya Hegde of the National Homeless Law Center who gave an update on the US removing itself from the scheduled November Universal Periodic Review. Ms. Hegde\u2019s presentation was followed by a roundtable discussion moderated by former NYC Chief Housing Officer Jessica Katz which featured discussants Christine Quinn; C.E.O. of Women in Need, Leah Goodridge; a nationally renowned lawyer and Fitzroy Christian a leader of the tenant organizer community-based organization, Community Action for Safe Apartments.
