In Memoriam
This article is a tribute to Caroline Andrew, a widely respected scholar, community activist, distinguished member of the Ottawa and Canadian political science communities, and internationally recognized expert on municipal politics, governance, feminism, and urban issues. She championed the value of a close examination of the local in a multiscale context, particularly in relation to governance and interactions among residents. She consistently …
An investigation of predictors of mental health in single men and women experiencing homelessness in three Canadian cities
Homelessness is related to poorer mental health, yet, there is limited understanding of the predictors of mental health of men and women experiencing homelessness. To support service providers in identifying individuals who might be at particular risk of poor mental health, this study investigated the predictors of mental health in 501 single men and women experiencing homelessness in Vancouver, Toronto, and Ottawa, Canada. Data were obtained via…
Perceptions of Housing and Shelter among People with Histories of Unstable Housing in three Cities in Canada
Housing is a key social determinant of health that contributes to the well‐documented relationship between socioeconomic status and health. This study explored how individuals with histories of unstable and precarious housing perceive their housing or shelter situations, and the impact of these settings on their health and well‐being. Participants were recruited from the Health and Housing in Transition study (HHiT), a longitudinal, multi‐city st…
A Longitudinal Study of Predictors of Housing Stability, Housing Quality, and Mental Health Functioning Among Single Homeless Individuals Staying in Emergency Shelters
The current study examined risk and resilience factors at multiple levels that affect homeless individuals' ability to exit homelessness and achieve housing stability. It also examined the relationship between housing status, housing quality and mental health functioning. The methodology is a longitudinal study of single homeless individuals staying in emergency shelters in a medium‐sized Canadian city who were followed for a 2 year period. Data …
This is how I want to live my life”
This paper aims to think differently about possibilities for feminist organizing in cities. We use a current experiment with city‐based feminist organizing to explore how it can be possible to work with the local state while at the same time challenging and disrupting understandings and practices that marginalize the diversity of women's needs, contributions and concerns. Trying to work “inside” the local state while maintaining an “outside” crit…
A cross-sectional observational study of unmet health needs among homeless and vulnerably housed adults in three Canadian cities
Homeless and vulnerably housed adults have a similar likelihood of experiencing unmet health care needs. Strategies to improve access to primary care and reduce barriers to accessing care in these populations are needed
Urban Contestation in a Feminist Register
Approaches to urban contestation that challenge the dichotomy between institutionalization and opposition, and understand contestation as including engagement, are explored. The emphasis is on how recent forms of feminist analysis and critical scholarship open up a conceptual terrain for such thinking, and the discussion is grounded using further details of City for All Women Initiative/Initiative: une ville pour toutes les femmes (CAWI-IVTF), wh…

Comparing the Housing Trajectories of Different Classes Within a Diverse Homeless Population
The paper presents findings from a longitudinal study identifying different classes of homeless individuals in a mid‐size Canadian city based on health‐related characteristics and comparing the housing trajectories of these classes 2 years later. Using data collected through in‐person interviews with a sample of 329 single persons who have experienced homelessness, the paper presents results of a latent class analysis. Results found four distinct…
From homelessness to community
This longitudinal study examined psychological integration of women who were homeless at the study's outset. Participants ( N = 101) were recruited at homeless shelters and participated in 2 in‐person interviews, approximately 2 years apart. A predictive model identifying factors associated with having a psychological sense of community within one's neighbourhood was developed from previous empirical research and tested. Having dependent children…
Resilient Educational Outcomes
Disrupted high school experiences, including dropout, are educational consequences for many youth with histories of homelessness. Using an ecological resilience prediction model (ERPM) based on the literature on resilience in at-risk youth, the study followed 82 youth who were initially homeless for a 2-year period, to identify predictors of participating in school. Female sex and increased duration of rehousing at Time 2 significantly predicted …
Introduction—Rights, Space, and Homelessness
All in all, the new law-and-order geste transmutes the fight against crime into a titillating bureaucratic-journalistic theatre that simultaneously appeases and feeds the fantasies of order of the electorate, reasserts the authority of the state through its virile language and mimics, and erects the prison as the ultimate rampart against the disorders which, erupting out of its underworld, are alleged to threaten the very foundations of society. …
Home Spaces and Rights to the City
The central argument of this paper is that current Canadian discussions about the relative merits of Housing First and Continuum of Care raise both theoretical and substantive questions about neoliberalization as an orientation that, following Graefe (2006), promotes certain types of social rule at the expense of other considerations. The possibility is raised that a wholesale shift to Housing First might well become a vehicle for further excludi…

Choosing' Participatory Research
Participatory action research has increasing attention in geography in recent years, with numerous discussions about how best to proceed and lessons learned from past efforts. There has been less interest, though, in critically probing the circumstances under which participatory research takes place: in other words, the sociospatial contexts within which such research approaches are chosen. One explanation may be that participatory action researc…
Landscapes on the Margins
This introductory article examines the issue of gendered homelessness and asks why so little academic feminist writing addresses this theme. The article begins with reference to a feminist novel—The Longings of Women by Marge Piercy—that does tackle this matter. The invisibility of the novel's homeless character is used as a way of introducing some distinctions between women's and men's homelessness. More generally, the article has two objectives…
Care and the Lives of Homeless Youth in Neoliberal Times in Canada
Socio-spatial insights from feminist theories of care are examined in relation to the complex, difficult lives of some homeless youth in Ottawa, and their embeddedness within multiple scales of public policy construction and implementation. As lengthy interviews with 78 female and 78 male homeless youth in Ottawa revealed, both care and self-sufficiency figure strongly in these young peoples' lives. It is our contention that care is generally not…

iS statement suggests the possibility of a significant role for local groups such as the Women's Action Centre Against Violence (WACAV) in making positive changes for women's safety. Our intent in this paper is to critically examine this claim by juxtaposing our knowledge of two community organizations in Ottawa with broader discussions about the extent to which local political action is likely to be progressive, given the combined trends of glob…
