Despite decades of efforts to combat homelessness, many people
continue to experience it in Canada's major cities. There are a
number of barriers that prevent effective responses to
homelessness, including a lack of agreement on the fundamental
question: what is homelessness? In Multiple Barriers, Alison Smith
explores the forces that shape intergovernmental and multilevel
governance dynamics to help better understand why, despite the best
efforts of community and advocacy groups, homelessness remains as
persistent as ever. Drawing on nearly 100 interviews with key
actors in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal, as well as
extensive participant observation, Smith argues that institutional
differences across cities interact with ideas regarding
homelessness to contribute to very different models of governance.
Multiple Barriers shows that the genuine involvement of locally
based service providers, with the development of policy, are
necessary for an effective, equitable, and enduring solution to the
homelessness crisis in Canada.
