Acknowledgements

I am grateful to the Swedish Institute for providing the funding for the preliminary workshop on housing rights that brought together some of the contributors to this special issue. I would like to thank all the contributors, editors, and staff at Housing Studies for making this special issue possible, especially Ryan Powell, Hal Pawson, David Robinson, Ed Ferrari, and Marietta Haffner. The reviews of the articles were completed during the COVID-19 lock down, so I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the anonymous referees who critiqued and constructively commented on articles during this time. I would also like to acknowledge all those who submitted abstracts or articles but did not receive acceptance.
