Striving for the Socially Sustainable Ideal: How Homelessness Is Addressed in St. John'S, Newfoundland
Description:
In the ideal socially sustainable city, no one would go without. Social problems like poverty and its most visible form---homelessness---would not exist. In the real present-day city, however, homelessness does exist. This thesis examines how homelessness, one symptom of a lack of social sustainability, is addressed in the City of St. John's, based on an interpretation of data from 28 agencies that form a part of the system of supports for the homeless. It also examines the effects of social policy on the emergence of homelessness and on the system of supports that has evolved to address it.
