  • Contemporary and historical debates around homelessness in different academic disciplines.


  • Homelessness relating to gender, sexuality, youth, families, migration, rurality, veterans and health.


  • A range of country-specific studies to illustrate the ways in which homelessness is researched and understood around the world.


  • Methods of engagement and modes of analysis.

With contributors from around the world and editors from the Centre of Housing Policy at the University of York, this handbook provides a groundbreaking and authoritative guide to theory, method and the primary interdisciplinary debates of today on homelessness. It will be essential reading for students, academics and professionals across the disciplines of sociology, human geography, public policy, housing policy, social policy, social work, economics and criminology.
