The cross-sector collaboration required to provide person-centred supports to this population has resulted in increased understanding of Housing First as a whole systems response. Housing First implementation acts as a catalyst for systems change, yet research on how this change occurs is limited. This study examined the role of regional networks in advancing systems change through Housing First. A qualitative, multiple case study was conducted to examine two multi-city networks established by community leaders in the Canadian homelessness sector. Data collection activities included document analysis, interviews (n = 10), and two follow-up focus groups. Thematic analyses were conducted for each network, followed by a cross-case analysis. Findings indicate that engaging in a multi-city network increases leaders’ collective capacity to create conditions for change and to advance and sustain systems-level changes.","PeriodicalId":47433,"journal":{"name":"Housing Theory & Society","volume":"38 1","pages":"650 - 668"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14036096.2020.1853224","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43674156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, the article sketches its historical growth founded in technological and business model changes. Using cross-country datasets, it identifies variations across the EU in the scale and characteristics of home working, which by 2015 was the practice for about 1 in 6 EU workers, a ratio that has been greatly boosted by responses to the coronavirus pandemic. Secondly, the article considers the implications of increasing home working for housing studies. This is illustrated through a consideration of influences on our understanding of housing demand, particularly in terms of housing form and location. Further, we consider consequences for other areas of theory on the meaning of home, boundaries between public and private realms, and gender perspectives on the division of domestic work and space.","PeriodicalId":47433,"journal":{"name":"Housing Theory & Society","volume":"39 1","pages":"1 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14036096.2020.1846611","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45848807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A central argument in our paper is that we see the rise of PRS and the associated stagnation of homeownership as springing from the contradictions inherent to financialized homeowner societies. Rather than a feature of either mature or late homeowner societies, contradictions of the promotion of homeownership through the expansion of mortgage markets paved the way for a revival of the PRS. Our case is the Netherlands, but our argument has a wider remit. We sketch the dominant trends in Dutch housing policy and present an overview of the rise of PRS and Buy-To-Let in Dutch cities. We identify how housing policies and realities have driven a shift from a debt-driven to a wealth-driven model of financialization, in which the demand for PRS as an investment class and as a place to live has become central.","PeriodicalId":47433,"journal":{"name":"Housing Theory & Society","volume":"38 1","pages":"541 - 563"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14036096.2020.1846610","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47305854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various theories from different fields underpin RS and empirical studies on RS also indicate different determinants; however, there is a paucity of research on reviewing RS studies, identifying the roots of its theories and categorizing RS empirical studies into core determinants. Therefore, the main research questions are: which theories support RS and what are RS determinants and indicators? To answer these questions, valid RS-related studies were extracted using the search strategy and after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 107 studies were selected for the final review. Besides, the findings of RS studies were structured into four determinants, namely urban policy and planning, design principles, social milieu and residents’ attributes. This review provides fresh insights into RS interdisciplinary aspects and the concept of residential dissatisfaction, and offers useful suggestions for future research.","PeriodicalId":47433,"journal":{"name":"Housing Theory & Society","volume":"38 1","pages":"512 - 540"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14036096.2020.1844795","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46457787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Five ways of using inspecting gaze are identified: pointing out, criticizing, giving advice, displaying concern and complimenting.

It concludes that the analysis of Stephens is a great incentive to continue the debate on housing and welfare started by Kemeny. The core of the review is that Stephens focusses on the so-called maturation of social rental housing as a replacement of government subsidies: can non-profit housing compete with commercial housing under smart conditions for social sustainability? Stephens is right that this maturation thesis does not hold and he provides convincing evidence for this. However, Stephens contribution neglects an important part of Kemeny’s work: the link between housing and more in particular the role of home ownership in welfare states. Here is work to be done! This contribution concludes with emphasizing the link between housing and welfare systems and its underlying ideologies. Rules of the games such as laws for social rental housing are important, but even more important than laws are day to day beliefs among citizens and professionals of what is right and wrong in housing practice. In other words it needs further research to explore the role of housing in practice of populism and COVID19.

I argue that the institutions of housing system are naturally located in the middle-range, and fall into three distinct spheres of production, consumption and exchange. These spheres interaction with the “wider welfare regime” which represents the institutions of the labour market, taxation and social security. They have distinctive distributional tendencies and set the “boundaries of possibility” of the social rented sector’s role. Sitting above these middle-range institutions are macro-level drivers including macro-economic policy and the relatively new phenomenon of “really big finance” implied by unconventional monetary policies adopted by many central banks. Beneath the middle-range institutions lie regional and metropolitan markets where institutional variations and market pressures may produce intra-regime variation of outcomes.","PeriodicalId":47433,"journal":{"name":"Housing Theory & Society","volume":"37 1","pages":"584 - 596"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14036096.2020.1816573","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46451783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
