When Boston's Columbia Point housing project was built in the early 1950s on the isolated edge of Dorchester Bay, it was hailed as a noble government experiment to provide temporary housing for working-class families who had fallen on hard times. By the mid-1970s, the model community had disintegrated and become a symbol of failure, decay, crime, and danger. Today, Columbia Point has been redeveloped as Harbor Point, a privately owned and managed mixed-income, racially integrated complex that stands handsomely alongside its institutional neighbors, the John F. Kennedy Library, the Massachusetts Archives, and the University of Massachusetts at Boston. A Decent Place to Live chronicles the rise, fall, and rebirth of Columbia Point through the voices of those who struggled to make a life there and who battled to rebuild their community. A fascinating story of people, conflict, continuity, and change, the work captures the rich yet troubled heritage of Columbia Point and celebrates the aspirations and tenacity of its residents. It reclaims a neglected piece of Boston's history and offers important lessons for urban planners and policy makers nationwide. Originally published by Northeastern University Press in 2000. With a new foreword by Karilyn Crockett.

In its time, the National Socialist housing and settlement policy may have appeared to many as a fundamental and convincing social measure for the German people. The strict uniformity of orientation was also accepted as a necessary welfare measure in order to master the overpowering housing problem. The real political intentions behind the alleged social measures remained largely unclear. The housing program has failed. A settlement concept that served armaments and was supposed to guarantee population growth for future world domination could never create the promised peaceful future. The residents of the settlement watched as new houses were put up, while bombs destroyed the recently completed buildings. The dreamed house was only available at the cost of destroying others. This book convincingly demonstrates how the transfer of National Socialist ideology via conceptual foundations, aesthetic-architectural models and socio-political strategies took place both in large-scale projects and in completed settlements in Reichsgau Vienna. Archival sources, primary testimonials and rich image material justify the evaluations and guarantee the necessary objectivity.

La crise du logement que connaît la France dès les années 1930, et plus encore au lendemain de la guerre, constitue véritablement le "problème social numéro un" des Trente Glorieuses. D'une ampleur exceptionnelle, comme le rappellent les événements dramatiques de l'hiver 1954, elle conduit l'État à intervenir pour encourager la construction immobilière. C'est cette intervention, sous la forme d'une aide financière publique à la construction privée, qui aboutit à "l'invention" du logement aidé. À quelles préoccupations sociales, mais aussi politiques et économiques cette invention répond-elle ? Pourquoi les pouvoirs publics ont-ils choisi de créer le logement aidé plutôt que de relancer le logement social (HLM) ? Quelles contraintes pèsent alors sur le marché immobilier ? Comment et dans quelle mesure le logement aidé permet-il aux français de retrouver le "goût de la pierre" et d'obtenir un toit ?

"Brings together leading and emerging researchers to advance understanding of the complex relationships between homelessness and health. Covering a wide range of topics from youth homelessness to end-of-life care, contributors outline policy and practice recommendations to respond to this public health crisis."--back cover. Homelessness & Health in Canada explores, for the first time, the social, structural, and environmental factors that shape the health of homeless persons in Canada. Covering a wide range of topics from youth homelessness to end-of-life care, the authors strive to outline policy and practice recommendations to respond to the ongoing public health crisis. This book is divided into three distinct but complimentary sections. In the first section, contributors explore how homelessness affects the health of particular homeless populations, focusing on the experiences of homeless youth, immigrants, refugees and people of indigenous ancestry. In the second section, contributors investigate how housing and public health policy as well as programmatic responses can address various health challenges, including severe mental illness and HIV/AIDS. In the final section, contributors highlight innovative Canadian interventions that have shown great promise in the field. Together, they form a comprehensive survey of an all too important topic and serve as a blueprint for action.
