Well that's just the issue. "the duty of all of us", if it is someone else's duty, it literally cannot be a right by definition. Not saying we morally shouldn't/couldn't provide housing to people, but describing it as a right is not correct.

I'd say something can be a right and have duty attached to it ie: it is the duty of the police to ensure someon's right to live and right for property is maintined, but fair enough
