“I Don’t have a Pile of Money to Take Care of Things”
Housing, the single largest expense for low-income individuals, is inherently tied to economic security. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Hispanic/Latinx and Black communities experienced the highest rates of income loss, basic needs insecurity, and COVID-19 hospitalization and mortality. As part of an ethnographic case study, I conducted serial interviews over two years with 35 predominantly low-income Hispanic/Latinx immigrant families in one Denv…
The chaos of not knowing
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development has instituted several successive programs to redevelop aging and distressed US public housing. The current program, the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative, aims not only to redevelop housing but also to improve the health of public housing residents through a whole neighborhood transformation, at the cost of privatizing components of housing. In the present case study, we examine relationships and …
The embodiment of exclusionary displacement pressure
Gentrification, growing income inequality, urban development, and the affordable housing crisis necessitate understanding the impact of the concern of displacement on health - prior to or even in the absence of a displacement event. In this paper, I use the term "exclusionary displacement pressure" to unify the literature on exclusionary displacement and displacement pressure, highlighting the disproportionate and inequitable impacts of displacem…

Although these projects promote community involvement and are purported to prioritize community input and to benefit residents, private investors have disproportionate power and often modify redevelopment to favor the market-rate units while receiving tax incentives, extremely l…
Framing health, behavior, and society
Despite the increasing focus within public health on the social determinants of health and ‘structural approaches’ over the past three decades, controversy remains regarding the field’s relative emphasis on the behaviors of individuals versus the organization of societies when explaining why some are healthy and others are not. This research seeks to clarify how authoritative sources within public health instruction frame the relationship among b…
Unhealthy by design
Although U.S. cities are expanding “anti-homeless” legislation – such as laws against public sleeping or use of shelter – there is little research on the public health consequences. Officials argue that laws forbidding public sleeping, and other forms of behavioral supervision, are “tough love” strategies to compel people experiencing homelessness to improve their health by leaving the streets and using services. To test these claims and understa…
