Interactional barriers to exiting homelessness: An ethnographic study of a homeless hostel

博士项目的目的是了解人们为什么以及如何无法退出无家可归，尽管通过临时住宿获得支持。通过人种学研究，该研究旨在研究临时安置的无家可归者的日常个人和群体经历，他们面临的挑战以及他们如何经历从粗糙的睡眠到支持性住宿的过渡。博士项目将特别关注如何保持和谈判退出无家可归的障碍，但也建设和感知。该项目将特别侧重于宏观层面（如获得支助）和微观层面（如精神健康、药物使用）障碍之间相互作用的经验，并将提出政策建议，以缓解从无家可归状态过渡的困难。

The aim of the PhD project is to understand why and how people are unable to exit homelessness, despite having accessed support via temporary accommodation. Through ethnographic research, the study aims to study the everyday individual and group experiences of temporarily accommodated homeless individuals, the challenges they face and how they experience the transition from rough sleeping to supported accommodation. The PhD project will be particularly focused on how barriers to exiting homelessness are maintained and negotiated but also constructed and perceived. The project will focus particularly on the experience of the interaction between macro-level (e.g. access to support) and micro-level (e.g. mental health, substance use) barriers and will result in policy recommendations to ease transitions out of homelessness.
