Synopsis: This book examines the specific manifestations and causes of housing precarity across a diverse range of geographic settings and housing types. Housing has been in crisis across the globe for decades. Precarious housing is defined as that which fails to provide an adequate standard of living to enable health and wellbeing for a person and their family. This book argues that, while causes are often structural, the forms of housing precarity need to be deeply and specifically understood in order to propose solutions. Bringing together contributions from diverse academics across different geographies in the global north and south, chapters offer fresh insights into how housing affects wellbeing in terms of physical and mental health, identity and participation in communities.
