Book excerpt: Governments have done little to address poverty and homelessness despite awareness of the increasing number of people affected by these issues. Neoliberalizing processes and resulting federal and provincial social policy changes since the 1980s have driven the decimation of Canada's welfare state and contributed to expanding inequalities that systematically privilege a wealthy few at the expense of the balance of Canadians, particularly those living in poverty. Collective resistances may be the best available and most powerful tool people in poverty, including those who experience homelessness, possess to challenge government policy directions and outcomes that marginalize their voices, needs, and wants. The literature on collective action of people in poverty and who experience homelessness is sparse. Scholarship incorporating the voices of people who experience homelessness and participate in collective action is meager within this small body of literature. The role agency plays in individual behaviors and how such choices may be shaped by social conditions, is relatively unexamined. An activist ethnography, with structural violence as described by Paul Farmer as the critical frame, was used to explore the role various types of agency played in collective actions of people with experiences of homelessness or experience housing insecurity in the Capital Region of British Columbia.

Book excerpt: This thesis documents and highlights - within the context of other exclusionary practices - some of the spatial and architectural strategies deployed by the government and the privileged classes to exclude and evict homeless citizens from the spaces of the city. Although various spatial scales are incorporated into the argument - from the national to the municipal - this investigation focuses primarily on the Capital Region of British Columbia and the City of Victoria, where much of the statistical and empirical research has been gleaned. Through the implementation of regressive legislation, oppressive urban planning, and exclusionary architectural design, the visible and abject homeless body is systematically concealed, wrongfully prohibited, or violently evicted from private and public space. Indeed, not only are homeless citizens denied a fundamental right to a private space of secure, adequate, and affordable housing, they are also denied fundamental political and physical rights to the public spaces of the city.

This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to develop case studies of housing projects that provide permanent accommodation for homeless people and of community-based organizations that provide this housing. Following an extensive review of the literature, case studies were undertaken on both innovative housing projects and on community-based organizations that created the housing solutions. Information was gathered from the projects and organizations, from tenants and clients, and from others involved in the provision of the housing and associated services. The study reaffirms that the best housing solutions for the homeless (and potentially homeless) are permanent accommodation, with a variety of associated services that meet the broad needs of tenants. Partnerships and multi-service organizations are needed to create solutions, and they require suitable government support and funding. Tenants should be involved ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homelessness is not a historical accident. We know that it is the disastrous outcome of policy decisions made over time and at several levels of government. Yet conventional theories in political science and public administration fail to explain why some approaches work while others fail. In Building a Collaborative Advantage, Carey Doberstein draws on network governance theory, extended participant observation, and more than sixty interviews with key policy figures to investigate how government and civil-society actors in three major Canadian cities have organized themselves to solve public problems. In Vancouver and Calgary, where governance networks include affordable-housing providers, mental-health professionals, Aboriginal community members, representatives of drop-in centres, and others with lived experience, homelessness is on the decline. In Toronto, where municipal decision making was closed to civil-society actors during the period of investigation, homelessness levels remained stagnant. Doberstein concludes that having a progressive city council is not enough. Civil-society organizations and actors must have genuine access to the channels of government power in order to work with policy makers to develop innovative and comprehensive solutions.
