Yes. The purpose of the Bill is to provide for the right of all citizens to adequate, secure and affordable housing, and to give effect to the decision of the Constitutional Convention that such a right be enshrined in the Constitution. Such a constitutional right to a home would oblige the State to make reasonable provision to vindicate such a right through its policies and decisions.
