Housing First is a support project aiming to provide immediate residence to chronically homeless people in developed countries around the world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Housing First follows the principles of unconditionality, which do not impose any requirements on homeless people, and is often considered an extraordinarily innovative initiative compared to past policies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, Housing First has been criticized for its complicity with neoliberalism.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This study aimed to reconsider this complicity by critically focusing on three dimensions of neoliberalism: ideologies, governmentalities, and policies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our reexamination of the Housing First government initiative in Tokyo indicates that the concepts of homeless- zero, self-responsibility, and cost reduction have indeed demonstrated complicity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Furthermore, this study explores an alternative method of supporting homeless people based on the innovative logic of the Housing First initiative that avoids complicities and identifies Housing First as a social movement for the homeless in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This study reveals circulation, dialog, and universalization as essential for the radical Housing First social movement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
