Abstract

To fully understand the life situations of women who live in inadequate and/or insecure living conditions, this study explores their housing pathways in the past. Specifically, this study examines women’s housing instabilities and attempts to trace the history of their movements in and through (in)visible places of homelessness and housing exclusion. Research findings show that women’s current life situation is commonly an episode in a long period of instability. Results also indicate the need for constant support, preferably from an early age. This holistic study of an understudied group of women and an underexplored topic raises new questions and directions for potentially valuable research with interesting policy implications.
