Using an anarchist conceptual framework, this paper explores the shortcomings of some existing approaches, challenging the assumption that people experiencing housing precarity inherently desire to participate in market housing and an associated economy. Rather, an anarchist conceptual model for housing suggests that the right to housing that preferentiates need and agency over full participation in the housing market and capitalist economy, while arguing that the means used to address housing instability must be in line with intended ends we hope to see. Proposed alternatives highlight the potential for integrating anarchist tools into practices in the housing sector in order to centre agency, anti-colonial work, and justice.KEYWORDS: Homelessnessanarchismharm reductionhousing justicehousing precarity Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1. While we recognize that not all States are capitalist, nor are all capitalist structures State-organized, here we position the interconnectedness of capitalism and the Canadian nation-State (Dorries, Hugill, and Tomiak Citation2022) as an important point to understand when addressing housing precarity (Aalbers and Christophers Citation2014). As such, throughout this article when we refer to the State we are discussing responses from the capitalist State, reflecting the inherently capitalist organization of Canadian State structures and the State-supported capitalist housing landscape in so-called Canada.2. For a one key example of the exploration of anarchist responses to homelessness within the context of broader social services and non-profits, see Jensen (Citation2018).3. In this article, we limit our analysis to anarchist theory that is grounded in collectivist notions of anarchy. This does not include forms of libertarian-oriented anarchism that are limited to individualized notions of freedom, or “anarcho-capitalism”, as we are in agreement with other theorists (i.e. Bey Citation2020) that this does not constitute anarchism as much as it represents hyper-capitalism/individualism.4. One important caveat to these intersectoral approaches, as mentioned, is when housing is conflated with the unique issue; in the case of HF there is an inherent assumption that homeless individuals need mental health counselling.5. For communities with direct experiences of intersecting forms of systemic and State violence, knowledge of the intersections of how discrimination is organized is not new (Bey Citation2020)6. We do not wish to suggest that facets of anarchism (voluntary participation, prefigurative politics, autonomy within the collective) are not present in other social movements that may be mobilized for ","PeriodicalId":208179,"journal":{"name":"Housing Theory and Society","volume":"18 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134953907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We build on the systematic analysis of literature and legislation in Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece, thereby providing an overview of housing financialization in Southern Europe. We identify six modes of housing financialization (mortgage debt, mortgage securitization, social rented housing, market rental housing, housing companies, “not-for-housing housing”), characterized by relative autonomy and specific mechanisms, plus a number of cross-cutting dimensions. Our conceptual/operational framework allows to systematically inquiry whether the state has passively adapted to global transformations or shaped these transformations in turn, therefore advancing two main contributions: first, contributing to a more precise conceptualization of the mechanisms of housing financialization; and, second, providing operational instruments to explore state action and policy in housing financialization beyond Southern Europe.KEYWORDS: Housing policysocial housingrental housingNot-for-housing housing (NFHH)semi-peripherypolitical economy AcknowledgmentsWe have presented earlier versions of this manuscript at the Shift Research Group of ICS-ULisboa (Dec 2020), the Encontro Annual de Economia Política (Jan 2021) and the AAG Annual Meeting (Apr 2021), receiving useful suggestions.

In line with a consolidated tradition (see Allen et al. Citation2004; Arbaci Citation2019; Tulumello Citation2022), we define Southern Europe as Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece, the four large countries traditionally associated with the familistic welfare regime – excluding the Balkan states which have distinct socio-political, urbanization and welfare trajectories, and the small Malta and Cyprus.2. In line with the previous discussion, rather than a “new” regime, we conceptualize recent processes of housing financialization a peculiar iteration of a recurring feature of capitalist development.3.

The variety of methods and results amassed in the field, alternatively dismissing or supporting their usefulness, makes it difficult to discern the classificatory and explanatory power of various housing regime approaches. To this aim, this study offers a systematic literature review of housing regime theorization and its applications. In doing so, we make a case for the use of systematic literature reviews in housing studies, still rare in the field. We thus map, compare and evaluate the use of such typologies by looking at how they were used in clustering national housing systems, and in empirical research testing the regime-related hypotheses. Our results point to the enduring relevance of housing regime theory in comparative housing research, although from a historically grounded perspective.","PeriodicalId":208179,"journal":{"name":"Housing Theory and Society","volume":"123 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134902397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have analysed market constraints on housing searches, strategies caseworkers use to navigate these barriers, and clinical interventions that help clients transition to unsupported housing. Little research has examined the nuanced ways caseworkers mediate landlord-tenant conflicts once a lease has been formed. I advance those studies by answering the question: How do HF caseworkers mediate landlord-tenant conflicts? Using interview and focus group data collected in a large U.S. County, I provide evidence that HF caseworkers mediate landlord-tenant conflicts by managing “enforcement costs” throughout the lease. Enforcement costs are (non-)financial expenditures beyond the price of a commodity to ensure co-signers honour their contractual obligations. HF caseworkers manage enforcement costs by absorbing them for landlords and/or tenants throughout the lease. When caseworkers cannot or will not absorb enforcement costs, they are keen to delegate this responsibility to other parties. Absorption and delegation can help rebalance power inequities and/or undermine the reputation of HF programmes.","PeriodicalId":208179,"journal":{"name":"Housing Theory and Society","volume":"117 1-2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136033708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent experimental research, however, suggests that this effect applies to consumption goods rather than exchange goods. Given that housing is a mix of consumption and exchange goods, it presents a unique opportunity to examine whether the effect exists in the real world through a quasi-experiment. Based on a policy change that relaxed the resale constraints of shared ownership housing in Hong Kong, we found that more constrained homeowners were more likely to sell their homes compared to those with fewer constraints when granted the right to exchange, all other factors affecting liquidity being held constant. This marks the first field study revealing that the endowment effect diminishes when a good enhances its exchange nature, such as being given an exchange right.KEYWORDS: Shared homeownershipquasi-experimentendowment effectsexchange asymmetrybehavioral Science Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. The official name of the premium waiver policy is called “The interim scheme of extending the HOS secondary market to White Form buyers”.2. Besides probability of trade, the endowment effect hypothesis also implies that the price of the HOS unit will be higher after the policy. The empirical test on the price effect requires a very different approach to model, and therefore it will be reported separately in another working paper.3. As we study the endowment effect empirically, the willingness to pay of all potential buyers is assumed to form a normal distribution, and the intensity of the endowment effect is assumed to be reflected by the change in the trading liquidity (probability of trade) in the specific housing market.4. The tightening measures apply to the resales of HOS units with premium settled.5.
