“…The importance of better understanding the practices and needs of roofless populations lies in the fact that this type of homelessness forms the overall negative image and unfavorable public perception of all homeless people (Ravenhill, 2016). The roofless receive even more severe social exclusion than other unhoused populations, such as houseless people or people in insecure or inadequate housing (Edgar, 2009;García & Brändle, 2014;Sadzaglishvili & Kalandadze, 2018) as their experiences add up to more than mere poverty, income inequality, or lack of employment. Social exclusion involves an essential absence of resources and denial of social rights, resulting in multiple deprivations, including broken social relationships or loss of identity and purpose.…”

“…Typically, a constellation of structural causes and individual factors leads to homelessness (Edgar, 2009), and rooflessness is usually not a sudden event but a complex process without clear-cut boundaries (Ravenhill, 2016). Edgar (2009) put forth a typology known as ETHOS (European Typology of Homelessness and Housing Exclusion) to show how a variety of exclusions creates a fluid continuum of living situations that fall into the definitions of homelessness: exclusion from adequate housing, whether physically, legally, or socially (or a combination of some or all). The presence of social capital may slow down the process of falling through the ETHOS categories or even open up the pathways out of homelessness.…”

Escaping the rough life of the street: Roofless people and mobile social media

Roofless people are among the most vulnerable, marginalized, and silenced societal groups. However, access to social media through mobile devices may provide opportunities for battling their stigmatization, social exclusion, low self-esteem, and self-acceptance. This study aims to explore how people who are experiencing rooflessness use and represent themselves on social media. This qualitative study, using thematic analysis of 16 in-depth interviews, reveals that roofless people may use social media to increase their social capital, advocate for other homeless people, and, most importantly, escape or reconstruct the reality of life on the street through continuous online social interaction and revalidation of oneself.

“…Fuente: elaboración propia a partir de Edgar (2009) A pesar del uso generalizado de la clasificación ETHOS en Europa, esta adolece de algunas limitaciones. Una de las más evidentes es la ausencia de la dimensión económica en el planteamiento teórico inicial, lo que conlleva que algunas situaciones de precariedad residencial no queden reflejadas en ninguna categoría operativa.…”

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la vulneración del derecho a la vivienda de la mujer en Europa en la actualidad a través de un modelo multidimensional de análisis de la exclusión residencial desde una perspectiva de género estructurado en tres dimensiones: la económica, la física y la psicosocial. Los resultados confirman la existencia de una brecha de género (gender gap) en el cumplimiento del derecho a la vivienda en Europa. Desde la dimensión económica (la vivienda inasequible), la evidencia estadística acerca las mayores dificultades de la mujer para satisfacer los costes residenciales en Europa es incontestable. Desde la dimensión física (la vivienda inadecuada), las condiciones residenciales de la mujer son también sistemáticamente inferiores en las variables analizadas. Y desde la dimensión psicosocial (la vivienda insegura), los elevados niveles de violencia que padece la mujer en Europa en su esfera doméstica provocan que para muchas de ellas su vivienda ya no desempeñe una función imprescindible, la de ofrecer un refugio seguro. Para corregir estas desigualdades hay que ir más allá del reconocimiento político y jurídico del derecho a la vivienda y de la igualdad entre hombres y mujeres, y desarrollar políticas efectivas en este campo.

“…Homelessness is an extreme form of social exclusion1 2 related to poverty in high-income countries 3. People experiencing homelessness (PEH) are defined as those who are ‘roofless’ (eg, no fixed abode) and ‘houseless’ (eg, living in hostel, shelter, temporary accommodation) in accordance with the European Federation of National Organisations Working with the Homeless 4. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, homelessness in the UK had increased annually since 20105 with estimates of all categories of homelessness in England standing at 280 000 people,6 of which 4266 were estimated to be sleeping on the streets 7.…”

ObjectivesSystematically synthesise evidence of physical activity interventions for people experiencing homelessness (PEH).DesignMixed-methods systematic review.Data sourcesEMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, PubMed (MEDLINE), PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus and Cochrane Library, searched from inception to October 2022.Eligibility criteriaPICO framework: population (quantitative/qualitative studies of PEH from high-income countries); intervention (physical activity); comparison (with/without comparator) and outcome (any health/well-being-related outcome). The risk of bias was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools.Results3615 records were screened, generating 18 reports (17 studies, 11 qualitative and 6 quantitative (1 randomised controlled trial, 4 quasi-experimental, 1 analytical cross-sectional)) from the UK, USA, Denmark and Australia, including 554 participants (516 PEH, 38 staff). Interventions included soccer (n=7), group exercise (indoor (n=3), outdoor (n=5)) and individual activities (n=2). The risk of bias assessment found study quality to vary; with 6 being high, 6 moderate, 4 low and 1 very low. A mixed-methods synthesis identified physical and mental health benefits. Qualitative evidence highlighted benefits carried into wider life, the challenges of participating and the positive impact of physical activity on addiction. Qualitative and quantitative evidence was aligned demonstrating the mental health benefits of outdoor exercise and increased physical activity from indoor group exercise. Quantitative evidence also suggests improved musculoskeletal health, cardiovascular fitness, postural balance and blood lipid markers (p<0.05).ConclusionQualitative evidence suggests that physical activity interventions for PEH can benefit health and well-being with positive translation to wider life. There was limited positive quantitative evidence, although most was inconclusive. Although the evidence suggests a potential recommendation for physical activity interventions for PEH, results may not be transferable outside high-income countries. Further research is required to determine the effectiveness and optimal programme design.
