Housing First is a popular model of homeless services that rehouses people experiencing chronic homelessness without preconditions like sobriety, treatment, or employment. The Department of Housing and Urban Development promotes Housing First as an evidence-based practice that grantees should adopt. While I laud this as a step in the right direction, this paper identifies three shortcomings of Housing First that limit its ability to end chronic homelessness. I then discuss two supply-side interventions (i.e., tax credit expansion and integrated public housing) that can compensate for these shortcomings.","PeriodicalId":72701,"journal":{"name":"Contexts (Berkeley, Calif.)","volume":"21 1","pages":"66 - 69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45277383","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}

In other words, it provides a visual conceptualization of the geography we live in as a microcosm of the global stage. Furthermore, aerial drone photographs provide vantage points and perspectives of our world that can enhance our perception of society. It allows us to see and connect large-scale processes that otherwise remain hidden from the ground.

While the topic of migration and climate change is of undoubted importance, these ways of approaching the issue oversimplify the complex reality of climate change and distort its relationship to migration.

Based on participant observation and analysis of parade routes over the last decade, I argue that Carnival is an example of creative place-making that reveals how Caribbean residents lay claim to places. In the context of the ongoing displacement of blacks from the City of Atlanta and the spatial re-ordering of the population in the metro area, Carnival affirms new sites of black joy.","PeriodicalId":72701,"journal":{"name":"Contexts (Berkeley, Calif.)","volume":"21 1","pages":"57 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45738092","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}

Less attention has been paid to actively worsening conditions for residents who don’t leave and for whom poor housing conditions are a perverse consequence of gentrification. Mapping city data on apartment code violations, we find that substandard housing conditions are surprisingly concentrated in gentrifying areas and not just low-income neighborhoods. Drawing on ethnographic observations our research finds that in gentrification while bringing new amenities to neighborhoods, can also give strong incentives to landlords to mistreat tenants in an attempt to drive them out intentionally.","PeriodicalId":72701,"journal":{"name":"Contexts (Berkeley, Calif.)","volume":"21 1","pages":"10 - 15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42304662","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}

She is upfront about this reality, noting that this book is about what it means to caregive for an abuser over the course of her life and most intensely for the eight years at the end of her father’s life. Rightfully, and true to ambiguity, she elaborates throughout the book on the delicate balance of trying to love her father at the same time she is trying to process the abuse and her feelings toward him.","PeriodicalId":72701,"journal":{"name":"Contexts (Berkeley, Calif.)","volume":"21 1","pages":"64 - 65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45953842","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}

Overall, the symbol of Columbus in the Italian American experience is particularly relevant to group identity and collective memory in the U.S., in a moment where many are reconsidering country’s historical narratives.","PeriodicalId":72701,"journal":{"name":"Contexts (Berkeley, Calif.)","volume":"21 1","pages":"16 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47622843","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}
