To respond for the rising housing price, the government in Hong Kong has tried to increase the housing supply and stabilize the housing price. At the same time, the number of street sleepers has also increased. Despite the efforts of the government and third sector organizations, the homelessness in Hong Kong is not yet to be tackled successfully. In view of the above issues, the literatures on homelessness have been studied. The literature review suggests that homelessness is multi-dimensions and caused by various reasons. It is observed that, the interactions between the government and the third sector organizations in homelessness are likely under-researched. On the other hand, apart from the government in Hong Kong, many countries have tried to tackle the homeless issues. In this paper, the homeless situations in Hong Kong, England and the United States will be studied and analyzed. Also, the weaknesses of homeless assistances in Hong Kong will be examined, and certain insights from the international experiences in homeless assistances will be drawn. Regarding the above interactions, this paper has attempted to examine the co-operation between public and third sector organizations in the homelessness of Hong Kong. This study argues that, the homelessness in Hong Kong is not tackled successfully, by reason of the failure in the co-operation between the government and third sector organizations. Hypotheses and analytical framework are suggested for exploring the above co-operation. Subjects: Homelessness - China - Hong Kong
Download or read book Faces of Homelessness in the Asia Pacific written by Carole Zufferey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the Asia Pacific, there are a vast range of experiences of homelessness and an equally diverse range of responses from state systems. Since understandings of homelessness are also heavily dependent on geographical, cultural, and historical contexts, attitudes towards it as a ‘social problem’ are essentially underpinned by ideological considerations. With a particular focus on critical and international policy and practice, this book builds upon the current scholarship of homelessness across the Asia Pacific. Through examining and comparing a range of state responses, it explores the differing definitions and lived experiences of the issue in a number of countries, including Japan, China, India, Korea, and Australia. The book analyses a range of key themes from welfare provision and legislation to the services provided and the roles played by non-governmental organisations, whilst also recognising the effects of class, gender and ethnicity on homelessness in the region. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Faces of Homelessness in the Asia Pacific will be useful to students and scholars of Social Policy, Urban Sociology, Psychology and Asian Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst the number of people currently experiencing homelessness cannot be precisely estimated due to varying definitions across countries and cultures, the link between homelessness and mental health disorders is undeniable. Both are strongly affected by social and economic determinants such as poverty, migration, unemployment, access to healthcare, and urbanization and, as a result, providing optimal care in the community requires understanding of the cultural context. Part of the Oxford Cultural Psychiatry series, this unique resource provides an overview of the connection between homelessness and mental health around the globe. Over 27 chapters it offers up-to-date research and policy evidence with an emphasis on developing models of social care and rehabilitation at a local level that enable easy access to mental health services. Written and edited by experts drawn from different cultural and geographical perspectives, this unique resource covers key topics such as COVID-19, dental issues, and chronic pain, the experiences of specific vulnerable groups, as well as case studies from specific countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hong Kong 'Unemployed' and 'Homeless' are terms that are often used to refer to people who are marginalized from society, either because of high property prices and expensive rent, or government policies that are ineffective. Most of the "marginal" group are living outside. People avoid them, and the government tries to isolate them, so that they do not have much chance to re-integrate with society. My thesis is based on the social circular economic theory and explores creating housing and community for the homeless population by utilizing an abundant local material: bamboo. The introduction of a bamboo forest in turn provides an economic infrastructure for community; while assisted design and build activities provide this "marginal" group an opportunity to participate in building their society.

Download or read book How Ten Global Cities Take On Homelessness written by Linda Gibbs and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creative solutions for global cities addressing their urgent homeless crises. This book takes on perhaps the most formidable issue facing metropolitan areas today: the large numbers of people experiencing homelessness within cities. Four dedicated experts with first-hand experience profile ten cities—Bogota, Mexico City, Los Angeles, Houston, Nashville, New York City, Baltimore, Edmonton, Paris, and Athens—to explore ideas, strategies, successes, and failures. Together they bring an array of government, nonprofit, and academic perspectives to offer a truly global perspective. The authors answer essential questions about the nature and causes of homelessness and analyze how cities have used innovation and local political coordination to address this pervasive problem. Ten Global Cities will be an invaluable resource not only for students of policy and social work but for municipal, regional, and national policymakers; nonprofit service providers; community advocates and activists; and all citizens who want to collaborate for real change. These authors argue that homelessness is not an insurmountable social condition, and their examples show that cities and individuals working in coordination can lead the charge for better outcomes.
Download or read book Diversity of Urban Inclusivity written by Toshio Mizuuchi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores, situates, and discusses the contours of urban inclusivity amidst and beyond the well-researched neoliberal turn in urban governance. While it is generally accepted that urban social issues are susceptible to global woes, these perceptions draw only limited attention to the plurality of interventions that cities undertake—or facilitate—in managing their social turfs. By addressing the apparent lack of theorizations on everyday heterogeneities in urban place-making, especially in non-Western contexts, this book highlights the role of inclusionary practices by different stakeholders as an explicit pattern of urbanization. It does so by focusing on old urban centralities that have an outspoken history in experimenting with inclusivity. The book is guided by two interrelated questions: (1) What particular urban settings promote inclusionary features in contrast to the conspicuous exclusionary mechanisms of market-led urbanization, and (2) how do we conceptualize these features in dialogue with concurrent urban theories that continue to grapple with the structural properties of exclusionary urbanization under the auspices of the neoliberal turn and gentrification? To answer these questions, the chapters provide a rich empirical account of inclusionary initiatives by the city governments, the voluntary organization sector, and informal communities, each revealing a unique new set of spatial approaches to urban inclusivity. The book concludes with the political implications of envisioning urban inclusivity as a negotiatory moment between key stakeholder interests in a capitalist society. Primarily intended for researchers and graduate students in the fields of urban geography, sociology, migration, and welfare studies, the book is also a valuable source for policymakers and practitioners in the fields of social planning and civil society at large.
