Building on a critical examination of government housing policy responses to support households keep their homes during the pandemic, this article reviews and documents the housing policies implemented in the context of the health crisis to protect vulnerable populations, in addition to some of the gaps found in those policies. Using data from OECD countries, the article explores the key actions implemented as a springboard to argue that a) governments were only able to swiftly enact those policies because they were temporary measures in response to a time-limited crisis, and b) that those Covid-related pandemic measures fail to address the deep-rooted structural inadequacies of housing systems. While demonstrating the added value and possibilities of such housing solutions, the study further argues that pandemic-oriented housing solutions could provide an opportunity to reconsider housing objectives that some governments deemed impossible or impracticable before the COVID-19 health crisis. The study suggests that countries should champion investments in affordable housing and convert their impetus for short-term coronavirus changes into fairer, more inclusive and longer-term housing protections.","PeriodicalId":52110,"journal":{"name":"Housing and Society","volume":"51 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136346292","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}

BFZ was created and promoted by Community Solutions – a nonprofit advocacy group based in the USA – as an evidence-based way to end homelessness. Despite its growing popularity amongst policymakers, few academic studies have analyzed BFZ implementation. This paper fills that knowledge gap with interviews conducted with 28 US homeless systems. My data analysis answers the following questions: What were the barriers to and enablers of BFZ implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic? How did managerial staff navigate these barriers and exploit these opportunities? What are the ethical implications of these strategies? I demonstrate government responses to COVID-19 facilitated entries into and hindered exits from homeless systems, BFZ communities experimented with risky interventions during the pandemic that have not been systematically tested, and homeless systems need additional resources to equitably implement BFZ.KEYWORDS: Built for zerohomelessnesssystems theorygovernanceCOVID-19coordinated entry Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.DeclarationsI would like to thank the participants who contributed their time to this research and the anonymous reviewers for providing helpful comments on this paper.Availability of data and materialMasked data is available upon request.Notes1. A person experiences chronic homelessness if they live with a disability in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or in an emergency shelter continuously for at least twelve months or on at least four separate occasions in the last three years, as long as the combined occasions equal at least twelve months (Federal Register, Citation2015).2. Local organizations that do not receive HUD funding can withhold resources from CoC members.3. I cannot provide a real-world example of BFZ communities using the BNL to make program referrals, identify leverage points, and balance feedback loops because such studies do not currently exist. Grainger (Grainger, Citation2022a, Citation2022b) offer the best examples from a non-BFZ community that was using BFZ methodology to allocate permanent housing assistance.4. Benfer et al. (Citation2022) show states like Washington, Oregon, California, New Mexico, Minnesota, Illinois, New York, Vermont, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Maryland banned eviction for nearly one-year.5. Hepburn et al. (Citation2023) show cities like Austin, Minneapolis, New York, Richmond, Philadelphia, and Boston banned evictions for an extended period of time and as a result had lower eviction rates than cities that allowed them to continue.6.
