About the Book

The Research Handbook on Homelessness presents a comprehensive account of the current knowledge and understanding of homelessness, the substantial challenges it presents and the latest developments in responding to the issue. Bringing together 54 of the world’s leading scholars in this field, this multidisciplinary Research Handbook acknowledges the increasing interest in homelessness across various academic disciplines and highlights the constant evolution of this issue, as well as the research methods that accompany it. Contributing authors discuss homelessness image control, the cost of homelessness and the role of the welfare state, as well as a seminal section dedicated to the impact of COVID-19 on homelessness policy and research. Looking ahead, the book points to future research possibilities which will address the structural factors that drive homelessness and encourage effective reforms of social housing systems. This insightful book is a vital read for academics, researchers and students specialising in welfare economics, human geography, health policy and economics, and comparative social policy. Including a breadth of research summaries and case studies, the book will also be invaluable to policy makers working in the homelessness field and in allied areas such as health and justice.

Review :
‘Homelessness and how we respond to it is a 21st century litmus test challenge for health and social equity. This synthesis of global perspectives reminds us that homelessness transcends geographic and cultural boundaries, as do its research champions. As exemplified throughout this insightful Research Handbook, research has a critical role to play in forging evidence-based solutions that tackle both the causes and consequences of homelessness, and gives voice to those who are too often invisible.’ ‘A welcome and necessary addition to homelessness studies; a proper handbook, combining overview, organisation, up-close accounting and comprehensive examination. Anyone looking to read their way into this wicked social problem could start here – and should do. Outstanding.’ ‘For anyone willing to take seriously the complexities of homelessness, the Research Handbook on Homelessness is a must-have. This comprehensive compilation of essays demonstrates the many different conceptual and empirical perspectives from which to consider this problem. The Research Handbook is a great resource for those new to the field and experts alike.’ ‘Johnson et al.’s Research Handbook on Homelessness constitutes an important benchmark in our understanding of this complex social problem. Featuring contributions from leading authorities, the book offers a comprehensive assessment of recent research, highlights vital questions for future interrogation, and provides an invaluable resource for practitioners and policymakers alike.’
