Re-thinking Indigenous homelessness : AHURI Research and Policy Bulletin Issue 42 - Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI), May 2002. - 6 pages
KEYWORDS: Indigenous, homelessness
Conventional responses to homelessness focus on finding accommodation as a pivotal intervention, upon which other interventions depend. However for many Indigenous homeless people, finding accommodation is not necessarily their most crucial support need. A key aspect of the re-conceptualising of Indigenous
homelessness is the idea that it is not necessarily defined as a lack of accommodation. The authors suggest that homelessness can be redefined as losing one’s sense of control over, or legitimacy in, the place where one lives
