Why do some cities provide many emergency shelter beds while others do not? We interpret differences with respect to the supply of shelter beds as originating from alternative choices concerning a series of policy trade-offs. These trade-offs arise because of climate effects, prejudice, levels of poverty, and housing and labour market conditions affecting the rates of homelessness. Governments have policy levers they can adjust to respond to changes in most, if not all these conditions. One of these policy levers is the number of emergency shelter beds that are made available. But other policy responses are also possible. These include efforts to reduce poverty, policies designed to increase the stock of affordable housing, and policies to increase income support payments. Choosing to supply shelter beds over other policy responses reveals a preference for one set of societal outcomes over another. Using data describing conditions in 52 Canadian cities, we test six hypotheses describing why some communities choose to provide more homeless shelter beds than others.

The existing urban communities have been linked to electric power for daily uses, as it is transferred between some places through overhead electric lines, and with the urban expansion as a result of the population increase, the idea of establishing a community life next to the high pressure lines in the Egyptian local community spread, such as building for housing, work, trade and study, without awareness of the risks to individuals from the low health status of residents next to those electric lines, which directly affects the health and life of the community, and therefore, it was directed to studying the concept of urban society and how to transfer and distribute electric power between regions and cities, as well as the concept of overhead lines and towers. And ground cables, then the specified safe distances, then exposure to health risks and damages resulting from construction and housing next to high pressure lines, in order to move then to a case study at the level of architecture and urbanism, which is the Zahraa Maadi area over a period of three years, and then make a questionnaire to survey the opinion and participate in thought to find out The extent of the community's awareness of the importance of the topic, as architects, students of architecture, and people participated in it Discussion, presenting ideas, conducting interviews, and knowing the opinion of specialists to present the proposals, and then reach results and recommendations. From this point of view, this research is an invitation to understand through awareness of the risks to correct the current situation and reach a safe life.

This article offers a thick, rich, multidimensional, and situational look into a Housing First (HF) program in Charlotte, North Carolina, called HousingWorks. This study focuses on individuals who have experienced chronic homelessness and who exited permanent supportive housing (PSH) programs that employ a HF model and return to homelessness. In January 2022, there were 582,500 people experiencing homelessness in the United States (The U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD], 2023). One-third of these individuals had patterns of chronic homelessness, which has doubled since 2016 (HUD, 2023). Additionally, one-third of unsheltered individuals are at a high risk of being unsheltered again. To address issues of chronic homelessness, emphasis has been placed on increasing supportive housing, which combines permanent affordable housing with supportive services (permanent supportive housing), commonly called a housing first, or the rapid rehousing approach. Participants exited HousingWorks for multiple individual and programmatic reasons. All exits in this study were tied to relationships individuals had with friends, family (of choice and biological), romantic partners, case managers, and neighbors. Consumers, providers, and former residents describe their experiences and offer insights for improving housing retention in PSH programs. Implications for implementation and housing first fidelity criteria are also discussed.

In Belgium, having a home address allows access to fundamental rights through registration in the national register. The national register centralises all of the data collected by the municipalities. Administrative invisibilisation therefore has a direct impact on the take-up of social rights. It has three distinct origins: failure to register, deregistration and removal of persons from the national register. Based on an analysis of national register data, this article looks at the phenomenon of "administrative invisibilisation", i.e. the voluntary or involuntary disappearance or removal from administrative registers. The article begins with an anthropological analysis of administrative practices with respect to people's home addresses, followed by a quantification and spatialisation of the phenomenon of administrative invisibilisation. Finally, a sociological survey of victims of administrative invisibilisation sheds light on their pathways to exclusion.

Architects’ houses constitute a unique category of housing, embodying a special significance as a calling card, an experimental endeavour, a culmination, or a synthesis of the architect’s body of work, encompassing stylistic, geographical, technical, social, and other features. However, to comprehensively grasp the significance and added value of this architectural genre, a well-defined theoretical and typological framework for understanding architects’ houses is essential. Based on data gathered from existing inventories, literature, archival research and on-site visits, an extensive register in which 370 architects’ houses in the Brussels-Capital Region were mapped forms the starting point of the analysis. Focusing on the period 1830-1970 in which the construction of both architects’ houses and housing in general was increasing, this register includes iconic and well-known architects’ houses as well as less studied cases, in approximately equal proportion: many of which were previously unidentified and can now be properly identified as architects’ houses. Representing the diversity of these houses, the register forms the necessary basis for a thorough assessment of individual cases as well as the architect’s house as a distinct building type.

The intersection between health and homelessness is well documented and has been made more explicit since the onset of the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19). In the Global North, COVID-19 related public health responses targeting homeless populations have varied across countries, including greater national-level financial investment, temporarily housing those in congregate facilities in ‘self-contained’ accommodation, time-limited eviction moratoriums and dedicated health system interventions across homelessness and addiction services to enable social distancing and self-isolation. Yet questions remain about the immediate and longer-term outcomes of these newly implemented responses and whether they will be sustained. Such considerations are critical and timely in countries such as Ireland, where significant health reform is underway. In this paper, we use Ireland as a case study to explore whether and how public health responses to homelessness during COVID-19 hold important insights for the development of more effective health policy. Drawing on publicly available Irish data, we present a secondary analysis of COVID-19 infection rates amongst homelessness service users as well as trends in emergency accommodation usage between 2020 and 2021. Focusing specifically on public health measures implemented during the pandemic via the health and housing systems, respectively, we discuss how such interventions may have impacted on these homelessness figures in both intended and unexpected ways. We conclude by teasing out and unpacking relevant lessons for health reform.

Homelessness was already a well-known risk factor contributing to premature death, morbidity, mental illness, and substance use disorder. The coronavirus disease for 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has amplified disparities in Canada’s public health system, disproportionately impacting people experiencing homelessness. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the homelessness situation in Canada from community stakeholders’ perceptions. The study used qualitative research approaches underlain by focused ethnography tenets. The sample includes 200 service providers from 28 communities across Canada (at least one site in each province and territory) to participate in virtual focus groups. Data analysis followed a four-step ethnographic approach for thematic analysis in qualitative research. Six main themes emerged: (a) system changes precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic; (b) personal changes in life circumstances; (c) previous strategies no longer working; (e) opportunities; (d) some things getting better; (f) an overall increase in first time and recurrent homelessness in Canada. The study findings underscored mechanisms required to help ‘tip the scale’ in affording people experiencing homelessness the opportunity to avoid or exit homelessness.

It is difficult to overstate the degree of uncertainty during the early days of the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, as government advice largely emphasized self-quarantine and isolation, stringent hygienic and sanitation practices, implementation of regulations around face masks and shields, and closure of congregate public spaces. This uncertainty was especially true for homelessness service providers, as homelessness is a phenomenon which has historically taken place primarily in public and communal spaces. It is important to consider that data collection among people experiencing homelessness (PEH) has always been a complex endeavor, as these populations can be transient, hard-to-reach, and reluctant to engage with researchers. COVID-19 testing was also severely limited throughout 2020, prior to the development of readily available self-administered tests. Understanding the complete picture of COVID-19 transmission within homeless populations during the early days of the outbreak, is therefore immensely challenging. For these reasons, this study, undertaken in August 2020, seeks to record the impact of the early pandemic period on homelessness service systems from a policy perspective. The value of this perspective is twofold: first, it documents how systems in a wide array of contexts responded to a critical public health crisis and can stand as a record of how systems operated prior to and immediately after the outbreak occurred, providing important historical context for future research; and second, it helps contextualize new and emerging data around the experience of PEH during COVID-19 and its lingering impacts.

The implementation of the “Housing First” project in several countries, such as France and Canada, has shown that allowing the homeless to obtain housing in order to reintegrate them into society can sometimes cost the state less than leaving them on the streets. Despite a political will in Belgium and Europe to prevent and end homelessness, no study has been carried out in French-speaking Belgium regarding its cost to society, making it impossible to assess the policies in place and any necessary changes. The aim of the study summarised in this article was to assess the cost of homelessness in the Brussels-Capital Region, taking into account both direct and indirect costs, which were then compared to the costs associated with rehousing the homeless.

While the right to housing is a fundamental right per article 25 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ‘homelessness’ is still generally a Western concept and not comprehensively recognized or addressed as a social issue in many countries, including many within the Middle East and North Africa. This paper looked at the literature on homelessness in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to document the meaning and scope of homelessness within this region. After identifying and screening the relevant articles, 103 eligible articles were included in the final data synthesis stage. What we have learned from the review is organized in three categories: 1) conceptualizations of homelessness, 2) proposed responses to homelessness, and 3) research gaps. Studies addressing homelessness experienced by women, elderly, and family were underrepresented or did not exist. Homelessness among children dominates the literature in this review with 62% studies investigated the issue of homelessness in childhood. In a way, children are prioritized yet their adult relatives are often left invisible. Responding to the issue of homelessness on a global scale first involves having effective definitions that both properly enumerate and contextualize the issue. Without establishing a comprehensive definition of homelessness, efforts to address housing precarity can be ineffective.

Research framework: The challenges faced by immigrant families in Quebec are well documented, but we know little about their effects on couples, especially those that remain together. The scientific literature on conjugal dynamics in migration is often limited to the emancipatory potential of migration for women within their couples. Nevertheless, a part of the literature reveals how the family becomes a refuge from the structural inequalities experienced in migration, which does not occur without asymmetries between spouses. Objectives: The aim of this article is to propose a new reading of the conjugal dynamics in migration based on the cases of highly qualified, bi-active couples through the perspective of money management and residential trade-offs between spouses.Methodology: The empirical material comes from individual interviews of the “narratives of life places” type conducted with immigrants (n=25) of various origins in heterosexual couples, cohabiting and parenting, settled in the Montreal area and selected in the category of “qualified workers” by Quebec.Results: Three ways of “making a couple” in migration emerge. They depend on the premigratory conjugal ideal, on the confrontation with migratory ordeals, and on the redefinition of the spouses’ priorities during settlement. The weight of migratory hardships varies according to couples, their resources, and their characteristics.Conclusions: Our analyses show that migratory hardships redefine the notion of “success” of the migratory project for these couples, in which the priority given to family well-being is increased. Migration thus becomes a possible driver of inequality within couples, to the detriment of female partners.Contribution: Better settlement conditions are needed if these spouses are to reconcile their ideal conceptions of the couple with their new reality.

In the 19th century, Western Europe and North America adopted the asylums model for treating, isolating and housing people considered insane. But criticism of this system grew and alternative experiments were tried. Formulas for accommodation and medical care outside the walls were diversified, but initially remained limited. The post-World War II period, marked by the rapid development of open hospitalization and the emergence of pioneering schemes aimed at integrating or reintegrating patients into the community (with their families, in their neighborhoods, etc.), favored the search for solutions to house some patients outside hospitals. But it was above all the reorganization of psychiatric care and the steady decline in the number of hospital beds that began in Western Europe and North America in the 1960s that accelerated the movement. The aim of this article is to examine the role played by the mentally ill, their families and the associative network in which all these players participate in the emergence and development of out-of-hospital housing between the middle of the 19th century and the beginning of the 21st century in Western Europe and North America. After presenting a brief overview of the first out-of-hospital housing projects, followed by public policies on housing for the mentally ill from the 1960s onwards, the paper turns to a number of case studies drawn from experiments carried out in France from the 1960s onwards.

In recent years, many cities have begun experimenting with the temporary use of “waiting spaces” as a tool for upgrading the city. A variety of temporary initiatives have emerged. Some civil society organisations see this as an opportunity to address the pressing demand for more and higher quality affordable housing. But how does this work in practice? This paper describes and evaluates the location-finding process developed for the Solidary Mobile Housing Pilot Project, part of an ongoing participatory action research project for the co-creation of temporary housing on urban waiting spaces with and for homeless people. Based on this experience and knowledge exchanges with key experts and field actors, we are assessing the possibilities and limitations of using un(der)used spaces to provide an immediate (although partial and short-term) answer to the current affordable housing crisis through the provision of temporary housing with and for vulnerable people in the Brussels-Capital Region.

This systematic review describes the international grey literature addressing housing stabilization support models for youth. The review yielded 15 reports with a range of information on preventative activities that focus on well-being embedded within the various form of housing stabilization. These approaches build on the premise that housing alone does not provide an effective solution to youth homelessness. Analyses of the content of these reports revealed both cross-cutting, process-oriented themes, alongside descriptions of the outcomes associated with specific intervention models. These findings emphasized the importance of intersectoral collaboration, early intervention coupled with intensive case management, and applying an attachment-oriented theoretical framework in guiding model implementation. Other highlighted results include specific models of housing stabilization with a particular concentration on housing intervention programs that address the interdependency between housing, income, and education. These stabilization supports, practices, and policies offered by organizations were associated with improved outcomes. This review, however, was limited by a lack of controlled studies amongst the reports and, in many instances, a lack of clarity regarding the service models delivered. Despite these limitations, this review provides an overall view of the grey literature evidence regarding the strategies to support young people in transition out of homelessness that complements and expands upon the academic literature in this area. Further research is needed with clearer and more rigorous methods, more detailed intervention descriptions, as well as data on applicability for visible minorities and specific employment interventions tied with housing supports.

This article investigates the impact of housing quality and type on the health of migrants in developing countries, emphasizing factors such as overcrowding, sanitation, and access to healthcare. It further explores how specific aspects of housing quality, including structural integrity, ventilation, insulation, and access to utilities, influence population health. A comprehensive review of relevant literature is conducted, presenting evidence on the relationship between housing conditions and the prevalence of respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and mental disorders. The study focuses on Kyrgyzstan, aiming to elucidate how various living conditions affect the health of its population. The analysis utilizes secondary data from sociological studies and scientific research from various countries, offering recommendations applicable to Kyrgyzstan. Numerous contributing factors are identified, including the economic and social damage associated with inadequate housing, housing construction, and improvements in living conditions; air quality; indoor temperature and warmth; infestation by parasites and pests; and sanitary and hygienic conditions. The article concludes with practical recommendations for policy and intervention.

This article investigates the multifaceted challenges resulting from concentrated and unidirectional migration to Bishkek, the capital of the Kyrgyz Republic. The study addresses the urgent need to rectify disparities in internal migration patterns and housing opportunities within Bishkek. By analyzing the intricate relationship between housing dynamics and migration inflows, the research underscores the critical importance of these dynamics for effective urban planning. A novel approach is proposed, advocating for the creation of a Bishkek agglomeration model aimed at fostering more balanced urban development and creating an accessible environment for public health. The primary objective of this study is to elucidate the correlation between the construction of new housing infrastructure and the overall state of housing deprivation across the country. The findings provide valuable insights and recommendations for administrative bodies responsible for managing migration and housing policies aimed at creating a healthy living environment.

This paper presents a comparative study that investigates the relationship between housing construction rates and demographic development in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The study aims to explore the housing issue as a significant factor influencing demographic processes within the context of the disparate economic development among EAEU member countries. Employing econometric analysis, the study demonstrates a strong correlation between the commissioning of housing facilities and the population dynamics from 2005 to 2022. The findings highlight the interdependence between demographic growth and housing volume, suggesting the potential for developing a unified strategy for demographic and housing policies across EAEU countries and the international association as a whole. It is argued that improving housing conditions can foster demographic development by mitigating housing risks. Conversely, inadequate housing provision negatively impacts population reproduction dynamics. In conclusion, the paper offers recommendations for formulating a unified strategy in housing and demographic policies within the EAEU, based on the principles of housing demography.

This study aims to investigate whether social facilities are being constructed sufficiently in relation to the volume of new dwelling construction, using the example of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The study focuses on three types of social facilities: general education schools, outpatient clinics, and hospitals. The construction of social institutions is crucial in determining the quality of life of the population, and the correspondence between the construction of social facilities and the growth rate of the housing stock is a significant factor in this industry. The objective of this study is to determine the degree of compliance of the construction of social facilities and new housing in the framework of achieving the third, fourth, and eleventh Sustainable Development Goals. The construction industry of the EAEU was the object of study in the field of commissioning new social and residential facilities. The method of correlation analysis revealed disproportionality between the commissioning of housing and healthcare facilities and proportionality between the commissioning of housing and educational facilities in the development of building production factors. This study raises questions about the need to increase the volume of construction of social facilities and align them with the needs of the surrounding housing environment, both quantitatively and qualitatively, while ensuring equal access for the entire population of the EAEU in any country of the EAEU. Analytical calculations are used to draw conclusions and propose specific recommendations within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union.

Purpose – The paper aims to clarify that the Corona pandemic has shown us the negative effects of housing isolation on the current dwelling that inhabited by many people, as the current dwelling failed to manage the crisis, achieve needs, and accommodate the user for long periods, as well as It is necessary to reject these types of inhuman stores that are lacking the basic concepts of housing and the principles of Arab housing, which represents the Arab identity. Thus also require studying modern technologies and methods to develop the current dwelling to be able to resist periods of isolation. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology study includes three main objectives:* The first focus is to monitor and diagnose the negative effects (environmental, health, social and economic) on the current dwelling during housing isolation under the Corona pandemic.* The second focus is on the deductive approach from both the old Arab housing principles and modern technologies to find new methods so that the current dwelling could face emergency changes.* The third focus is the practical methodology for treating the current dwelling to face the negative effects of the Corona pandemic, reaching to the research findings and recommendations.Findings – The paper provides practical and analytical insights* The old Arab dwelling is one of the most important alternatives for treating the current dwelling because of its successful architectural vocabulary, climatic treatments, and spiritual values that make it highly able to adapt to changes.*It is necessary to reject those types of current dwellings, which have been turned into human stores that lack many basic of housing, cannot achieve human needs, and cannot accommodate users as long as possible during periods of home isolation.Social implications – Re-strengthening social ties between neighbors by adding some elements such as the horizontal and vertical courtyards, exploiting the roofs of residential buildings, and pouring some untapped common skylights floors to be used in many social and recreational activities.Originality/value – This paper Addressing a large population segment at the Arabic and foreign level, which is the medium social housing, who inhabits these units, which are less than 90 meters to find practical economic solutions commensurate with the possibilities of governments and the level of income of individuals to transfer their homes from human stores to human housing can resist the negative effects of the Corona pandemic.

This paper aims to enhance the understanding of the Women’s Housing, Land and Property (HLP) Rights in Syria as a crucial pillar to ensure social and economic development and increase the enjoyment of human rights. The paper explores two perspectives to address women’s HLP needs: gender and legal aid services. It also addresses challenges in accessing land that women face in prescribed gender roles, unequal power dynamics, and traditional norms that deny women the chance to access land adequately. To this end, the paper presents the results of desk reviews of the national and international studies that revealed the importance of addressing HLP Rights of women in the post-conflict context to prevent increasing poverty and vulnerability faced by women although it has not focused on the Syrian context directly. The paper provides an analysis of the legal framework used to support interventions on the access to HLP rights by displaced Syrian women. Contrary to what has been assumed, the laws alone are insufficient to guarantee equal access to HLP Rights, when structural gender inequality compromises women’s HLP Rights. This paper may constitute the object of future studies that could investigate the association between HLP Rights and sustainable development. A complex and inclusive approach needs to be adopted by engaging the relevant authorities, community, and international organisations to promote gender justice in addressing women’s HLP Rights and contribute to peacebuilding, sustainable return and reinforcing the rule of law.

In the spring of 2020, a national lockdown was declared in France to control the Covid-19 epidemic – the longest and strictest to date. This led to spontaneous population movements, widely publicised in the media as the urban exodus of Parisians. But were departures from large cities to low-density areas the only types of mobility during this period? And what can we learn from housing changes during lockdown about the ordinary residential practices and dwelling conditions of households, as well as about the resources mobilised to cope with these exceptional situations? Based on the EpiCOV survey (Inserm-Drees), conducted in France among a sample of 135,000 people aged 15 and over at the end of the first lockdown, this article examines the different types of residential mobility that took place in the spring of 2020 on French territory. While this study does not predict whether or not these movements are to become permanent, or whether they would be repeated during further phases of lockdown, it highlights the heterogeneity of mobility practices, captured here in terms of distance travelled, changes within the urban gradient, types and conditions of housing, as well as the variety of resources mobilised according to sex, age and social position of individuals. While long-distance mobility more often concerns wealthy populations, local movements are almost as frequent and concern more heterogeneous fractions of the population.

This article is a study of the Grand-Ensembles during the French colonial period (1830-1962). This period brought models of intervention which marked the landscape of the cities. In the same way, public policies projects, after the independence, gave a central place to housing projects, in particular in the city of Oran, where our research is located. Today, public authorities are looking for architectural answers which, in reality, seem to remain very close to “Grand-Ensembles” of the colonial era.

The aim of this article is to understand the sociospatial changes in process in the peripheral areas of large metropolises, in the North and in the South, as a result of the emergence of a new and relatively uniform housing supply for the lower middle classes. Partly neglected by the public authorities, the question of the trajectories of these new residential complexes, from their construction to their integration into the city through their settlement, arises at different scales, from the local to the metropolitan scale, and with different focuses, from the most technical to the most social. By regarding to the cases of Mexico City, Delhi and Paris, through statistical databases on the one hand and field observations and surveys collected with a common grid on the other, we can question the integration of new residential complexes into the system of access to housing and access to the city, into urban production systems, and into the processes of social division of metropolitan space.

Partly neglected by the public authorities, the question of the trajectories of these new residential complexes, from their construction to their integration into the city through their settlement, arises at different scales, from the local to the metropolitan scale, and with different focuses, from the most technical to the most social. By regarding to the cases of Mexico City, Delhi and Paris, through statistical databases on the one hand and field observations and surveys collected with a common grid on the other, we can question the integration of new residential complexes into the system of access to housing and access to the city, into urban production systems, and into the processes of social division of metropolitan space.

By studying the relationships of humans with what surrounds them, we affirm in this text that the digital environment is a daily living space that bears the features of the domestic: “any truly inhabited space bears the essence of the house” (Bachelard 1957). We will analyze the features of the house from the scriptural language and in Laudato Si’ in order to instruct digital domesticity: soil, architecture, and habitability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article raises as a research question What the typological characteristics of people who buy housing for rent in Chileare. The main aimis to contribute to the characterization of this social group in order to recognize its potential motivations and inform the development of public policies that allow to identify the virtues and problems of these processes. At the same time, as a result, a cartography is developed that allows to visualize the location of these people in relation to the place in whichthe investments are made, presenting that the emerging theoretical framework of the “investification” is applicable for the Chilean case. Given the significant increase in housing accumulators by 20% between 2015 and 2020, it is proposed that housing policy should deepen its diagnosis in terms of rent by integrating in its design the local and dynamic complexities at the neighbourhoodlevel that are generated from“investification” and seek effective strategies to reduce the social impact of this phenomenon.

The article focuses on the need to implement housing integration practices for migrants in Italy. Through an overview of the literature on housing, with an insight at the Emilia-Romagna region, the aim was to identify opportunities and obstacles that arise for refugees and holders of international protection once they leave the reception and integration services. As part of the H2020 MERGING project we introduce a first phase of the qualitative research conducted and the methodology adopted for the selection of the case study investigated. The selected project presents itself as a potential model to be implemented to address the housing issue as a right to be protected but also as a starting point for the integration process.

How many households are evicted from their homes each year in Brussels? What is known about the profile of evicted tenants and landlords who have called for an eviction? Are some parts of the city more affected than others? Although they constitute an extreme case of deprivation of the right to housing, evictions from housing in Brussels are still very poorly documented. This article aims to address this lack of knowledge by providing a comprehensive snapshot of judicial evictions over one year (2018) for the entire Brussels Region. The results highlight the importance of questioning the lack of institutional data on housing evictions in a city where housing production and allocation is largely dominated by market mechanisms.
