This paper explores three key challenges of providing humanitarian shelter assistance: legal pluralism and customary rights; urban contexts and disadvantaged groups. The paper concludes with questions for further discussion in order to advance progress towards a proposed operational definition of security of tenure suited to the tasks undertaken by the humanitarian community.
