Developing a global framework for conceptualising and measuring homelessness
Homelessness has long been recognised as a global phenomenon, affecting poorer populations in both the developed and developing worlds. However, acute housing need has often struggled to achieve the same level of priority at an international level as the satisfaction of other basic needs, such as for food, water, healthcare and education. In this paper we present a broad-based Global Homelessness Framework as a means of providing a ‘frame of refe…
Common Ground in Australia
Developed in New York City in 1990, the Common Ground model of supportive housing has recently been embraced in Australia as a high-profile solution to chronic homelessness. Combining on-site support services with a congregate housing form accommodating ex-homeless people and low-income adults, Common Ground is presented as an innovative model which permanently ends homelessness, enhances wellbeing, and strengthens communities. This article criti…
Does Re-Housing Lead to Reintegration
The article presents the results of a number of follow-up studies of re-housed homeless people in different European countries, including three recent studies in Dublin (Ireland), Hanover (Germany) and Milan (Italy). They have shown mainly positive outcomes even for many long-term and severely marginalized homeless persons – if those who need social support are adequately provided with it. On the other hand they proof that expectations should not…
Homelessness and Exclusion
Public space is an essential component of the daily life of homeless people, whether rough sleepers or hostel dwellers or others who are inadequately housed. During 2006 a group of researchers from the European Observatory on Homelessness considered the ways in which the increasing surveillance, regulation and control over public space, evident in all European cities, has impacted on the lives of homeless people. In this paper we chart the backgr…
When homeless people are allowed to decide by themselves. Rehousing homeless people in Germany
Several surveys on homeless people in Germany and evaluation results of studies in other European countries show that a majority of homeless people want to live in mainstream, self-contained housing. Research in the UK and in Germany also proves that most homeless single people with special difficulties and rough sleepers, who are often stigmatized as 'unable to live on their own', manage to sustain a normal tenancy, when additional social suppor…
