| Summary: | Access to adequate housing has been established according to family income and through financing mechanisms since the 1940s. This text examines the evolution of the notion of "adequate housing" in United Nations texts between 1946 and 2020, from which a content analysis is carried out in relation to the housing variables that twenty-one Latin America and Caribbean countries apply for their residential diagnoses on adequate housing, and with the qualification given to the right to housing in their constitutions, whose objective component are the housing indicators that the nations apply. Equivalent notions such as decent, affordable, healthy housing and habitat are constructed as a motto by the United Nations, from which financialization of housing is installed, which is not assimilated to adequate housing. The inadequacies in housing, among which are the financing instruments for its access, disturb the health of the dweller. This appreciation could enhance the understanding of housing as a shelter in the guarantee of housing rights and not only as an object of wealth, particularly in times of exception such as those that arise with a pandemic. |
