New York, NYLeilani Farha is the former UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Housing and Global Director of The Shift, which was launched in 2017 with the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and United Cities and Local Governments.

She has helped develop global human rights standards on the right to housing, through her topical reports on homelessness, the financialization of housing, informal settlements, rights-based housing strategies, and the first UN Guidelines for the implementation of the right to housing.
