  • European Homelessness and COVID-19 3
    European Homelessness and COVID 19 Nicholas Pleace Isabel Baptista Lars Benjaminsen Volker Busch Geertsema Eoin O’Sullivan Nóra Teller Acknowledgements This report draws on research, interviewing homelessness service providers and reviewing available information, conducted within the home countries of the members of the European Observatory on Homelessness (EoH): Isabel Baptista (Portugal); Lars Benjaminsen (Denmark); Volker Busch-Geertsema (Germany); Eoin O’Sullivan (Ireland), Nóra Teller (Hungary) and, in 2020, prior to leaving the EU, the UK (Nicholas Pleace). The most recent EoH comparative research for the 10th report in the series, exploring staffing in homelessness services in Europe1, was conducted as COVID-19 was causing the first waves of lockdowns. The result of this work, which covered the immediate impacts of COVID-19 on homelessness services in: Belgium; Croatia; the Czech Republic; Denmark; Finland; Germany; Greece; Hungary; Italy; the Netherlands; Poland; Portugal; Slovenia; Spain; and the UK, are also drawn upon on here. The report also draws on a range of other resources, including FEANTSA’s own data collection, analysis by the Deputy Director, Ruth Owen, and inputs from the Director, Freek Spinnewijn. As always, the work of EoH presented here benefits from Mike Allen’s (Focus Ireland) input and comments. Sources from outside Europe are also used in trying to understand and consider the possible long-term effects of COVID-19 on homelessness and housing exclusion as the pandemic continues to unfold. People working in homelessness services across Europe also supported the research at an extremely challenging time. Our sincere thanks are due to all those who contributed both directly and indirectly to this report.

NCH Announcements Lessons from a Candidate Who Sought to End Poverty By Michael Stoops** Nearly forty years ago in 1968 this country lost a great American, Upton Sinclair, who had a profound impact forwarding social justice in the United States. He first came to national attention with the book, The Jungle, published in 1906 which exposed unsafe practices of the meatpacking industry in Chicago. Not as well known was Upton Sinclair’s effort to be elected as a U.S. Senator and Governor of California. As a socialist, he ran for a U.S. Senate seat in California in 1922 and got 50,323 votes. He ran for Governor in 1930 and got 50,480. He described that as progress. In 1934, he switched parties and became a Democrat. He carried the Democratic primary with 436,000 votes, and winning by a margin of some 25,000 votes. In the general election, Sinclair received twice the number of votes of any previous Democratic candidate for governor of California up to that point.

  • Global Street Papers and Homeless [Counter] Publics: Rethinking the Technologies of Community Publishing
    Global Street Papers and Homeless [Counter] publics: Rethinking the Technologies of Community Publishing Erin Anderson, University of Pittsburgh This article argues that community publishing initiatives might extend the scope and impact of their work by critically examining the ways in which technology influences the production and circulation of their [counter]public discourse. Building upon the work of Paula Mathieu, the author analyzes the material and discursive complexities of the “street •••••••••••••• paper” movement as a site of community-based publishing, finding both limitations and potential in the survival-driven, print-based, and hyperlocal character of street paper media. Discussing an emerging digital platform for participatory blogging among homeless and low- income street paper vendors, the author suggests how a model of Web-based, multimodal, and interactive communication might work to •••••••••••••• extend the community literacy practices of the street paper movement. ver the past decade, the field of communication studies has demonstrated increasing interest in a previously neglected Omovement of independent newspapers and magazines called “street papers,” examining the role that these publications play in providing a platform for self-representation and rhetorical action by marginalized people. Sold on public street corners by homeless and low-income “vendors,” street papers exist to provide these individuals with not only a source of dignified, low-threshold employment, but also an independent voice that speaks to issues that affect their lives and the lives of people like them around the world. While there has been • 76 considerable disagreement as to how well individual projects fulfill this latter aim in practice, street papers in general have garnered substantial attention for their potential to contribute to “small acts of participation” (Novak and Harter 406), “communicative democracy” (Howley 274), and “counterpublic” discourse (Parlette 96) in the public sphere.

Is a House Always a Home?: A Survey of Homelessness Laws By: Marlei English1 March 6, 2020 Homelessness is a plague that spares no country, yet not a single country has cured it. The type of legislation regarding homelessness in a country seems to correlate with the severity of its homelessness problem. The highly-variative approaches taken by each country when passing their legislation can be roughly divided into two categories: aid-based laws and criminalization laws. Analyzing how these homelessness laws affect the homeless community in each country can be an important step in understanding what can truly lead to finding the “cure” for homelessness rather than just applying temporary fixes. I. Introduction to the Homelessness Problem Homelessness is not a new issue, but it is a current, and pressing issue.2 In fact, it is estimated that at least 150 million individuals are homeless.3 That is about two percent of the population on Earth.4 Furthermore, an even larger 1.6 billion individuals may be living without adequate housing.5 While these statistics are startling, the actual number of individuals living without a home could be even larger because these are just the reported and observable numbers.
