Gentrification and Homelessness
Rosell, Brynn
Communique, v47 n8 p1, 24-25 Jun 2019
Despite the United States being one of the wealthiest countries in the world, homelessness remains a significant problem across the nation. It is a complex issue that involves many different factors, such as socioeconomic status, housing costs, degree of external support, and mental/physical health. The causes of homelessness also vary significantly; however, gentrification has been identified as one of the major catalysts leading to homelessness. Gentrification has been shown to influence both eviction and homelessness rates, as well as the social capital of minority groups (Chum, 2015; Linton et al., 2017; Newman, Velez, & Pearson-Merkowitz, 2016). This article investigates the relationship between homelessness and gentrification, using the Denver metropolitan area as a case example, although the conclusions apply to many areas undergoing gentrification.
