Housing, Homelessness, and Social Policy in the Urban North brings
together leading scholars on northern urban housing across Alaska,
the Canadian north, and Greenland. Through various case studies,
contributors examine the ways in which housing insecurity and
homelessness provide a critical lens on the social dimensions of
northern urbanization. They also present key considerations in the
development of effective and sustainable social policy for these
areas. The book kickstarts a conversation between multiple
stakeholders from different cultural and national regions across
the North American north. It asks key questions including: What are
the common problems of, and responses to, housing insecurity and
homelessness across these northern regions? Is a single definition
of "homelessness" even possible, or desirable? And if not, can a
shared language around how to end the housing crisis and
homelessness in our northern regions still occur? The contributors
explore how experiences of northern towns and cities inform an
overall understanding of urban forms and processes in the
contemporary world, and speak directly to the emerging body of
literature on cities. Highlighting key limitations to federal,
state, and provincial policy, Housing, Homelessness, and Social
Policy in the Urban North raises important implications for
developing policy that is responsive to northern realities.
