 Housing problems in Urban area

• Homelessness is a complex problem; the circumstances of homeless people vary greatly.

• Homelessness is sometimes a product of shortage of houses,

but in some cases homeless­ness is caused due to other reasons also.

• Four main issues are found to be the causes for homelessness:

1. Shortages of housing
2. Entitlement to land
3. Entitlement to housing
 Shortage of Housing

HOMELESSNESS

• Shortages of Housing :
If there are not enough places for people to live, then some­one
has to go without and those who are excluded are generally the
poorest people.
ENTITLEMENT TO LAND:

• People erect temporary shelters rather than be homeless.

Squatters usually build temporary shelters at first, but over time
these settlements are given concrete shape and become more
established.
PERSONAL SITUATION OF HOMELESS PEOPLE:

• Homelessness is often attributed to the characteristics of the homeless

person, such as alcoholism and psychiatric illness; or to the social situation
of homeless people, such as unemployment and marital breakdown.
• People in these situations only become homeless if they are excluded from
housing, or do not have enough resources to secure alternative housing.
ENTITLEMENT TO HOUSING:

• If people are not entitled to use the houses which exist, they may be
homeless, even when there is no apparent shortage.
• Some people are excluded because of their circumstances—street children
are an example.
• The main reason for exclusion, however, is financial—homeless people are
those who cannot afford the housing which is available.
