Through various case studies, the 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 these: 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?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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, \u003cem\u003eHousing, Homelessness, and Social Policy in the Urban North\u003c\/em\u003e raises important implications for developing policy that is responsive to northern realities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eSection One: The Canadian North\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRegional Introduction: The Canadian North\u003cbr\u003eJulia Christensen\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1: It\u0026amp;#x2019;s a Tough Game: Navigating Housing Monopolies in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada\u003cbr\u003eLisa Freeman and Julia Christensen\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2: Responding to Homelessness in Yellowknife: Pushing the Ocean Back with a Spoon\u003cbr\u003eNick Falvo\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3: An \"Urban\" Issue, and the Issue with \"Urban\": Contextualizing Homelessness in Whitehorse\u003cbr\u003eAlexandra Nelson\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4: Homelessness, Mobility, and Migration from the James Bay\u003cbr\u003eCarol Kauppi, Michael Hankard, and Henri Pallard\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5: A Different Kind of \"Ecological Refugee\": Land Claims, Migration, and Inequalities in Northern Labrador\u003cbr\u003eJoshua Moses\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6: Making Place Home: The Contradictions of Inuit Housing in a Liberal Democracy\u003cbr\u003eFrank Tester\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection Two: Alaska\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRegional Introduction: Alaska\u003cbr\u003eSally Carraher and Travis Hedwig\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7: Northern Voices on Homelessness: Engaging the Public and Promoting Inclusivity for Homeless Alaskans in Public Discourse\u003cbr\u003eSally Carraher and Travis Hedwig\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8: Differing Meanings of Housing First: Lessons Learned from a Single-Site Program Evaluation in Anchorage, Alaska\u003cbr\u003eTravis Hedwig\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9: Alaska Is a Very Small Town: Moving Towards an Understanding of Homelessness in the Urban North\u003cbr\u003eClare Dannenberg\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection Three: Greenland\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRegional Introduction: Greenland\u003cbr\u003eSteven Arnfjord and Julia Christensen\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10: In Search of Security: Women\u0026amp;#x2019;s Homelessness in Nuuk, Greenland\u003cbr\u003eSteven Arnfjord and Julia Christensen\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11: Welfare Colonialism and Geographies of Homelessness in Nuuk, Greenland\u003cbr\u003eJulia Christensen, Steven Arnfjord, and Marie-Louise Aastrup\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue: Homelessness across the Arctic in the Shadow of COVID-19\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595946717464,"sku":"9781487552893","price":22.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/housing-homelessness-and-social-policy-in-the-urban-north-paperback-softback-9781487552893","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
