In the Constitution of the Canton of Vaud, persons inhabiting the territory are promised a rationally and economically used territory. Thus, the state has a responsibility of care in legislation. Despite it's responsibility towards housing provision, the state has overwhelmingly failed to provide universal housing. Lausanne proves an interesting case study for the distribution of housing. This becomes the fundamental demand of the C.A.R.E.R.S. In this lawsuit, C.A.R.E.R.S. demand architectural interventions as remedies.
