“…Previous analyses have shown a high level of complex support needs amongst the homeless in countries with some of the most extensive welfare systems, namely in the Scandinavian countries-Denmark (Benjaminsen & Lauritzen, 2013), Norway (Dyb & Johannessen, 2013) and Sweden (Socialstyrelsen, 2011). However, Kuhn and Culhane's typology of shelter users has not previously been tested on similar data in these countries.…”

This article compares patterns of homeless shelter use in Denmark and the USA. Combining data from homeless shelters in Denmark with population registers, we find that the prevalence of shelter use is substantially lower in Denmark than in the USA. A cluster analysis of shelter stays identifies three types of users similar to findings from US research: the transitionally, episodically and chronically homeless. However, the transitionally homeless in Denmark have a higher tendency of suffering from mental illness and substance abuse than the transitionally homeless in the USA. The results support Stephens and Fitzpatrick' hypothesis that countries with more extensive welfare systems and lower levels of poverty have lower levels of homelessness, mainly amongst those with complex support needs, whereas in countries with less extensive welfare systems homelessness affects broader groups and is more widely associated with poverty and housing affordability problems.

“…However, relative to the population growth the increase in homelessness figures were minimal from 2008 to 2012. In 2012 the number enumerated was 6,257, corresponding to 1.27 per 1,000 population (Dyb & Johannessen, 2013). As also noted by Benjaminsen and Lauritzen (2015) the homeless populations in the Nordic countries are dominated by people with multiple problems.…”

“…The largest group is single males of national ethnic origin, with an addiction, and with social security benefit as main income. Despite an overall moderate growth in the number of homeless persons, the number of children homeless with their parent(s) increased by 70% (from 400 in 2008 to 679 in 2012) (Dyb & Johannessen, 2013), which may reflect a noticeable increase in the number of children living below the EU poverty limit of 26% from 2008 to 2015 (mainly a structural poverty problem). The 2012 census made an effort to include migrants living on the streets and in night shelters.…”

This paper compares continuity and change in homelessness policy in Ireland, Scotland and Norway with a particular focus on the period of post-crisis austerity measures (2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016). The analytical approach draws on institutional theory and the notion of path dependency, which has rarely been applied to comparative homelessness research. The paper compares welfare and housing systems in the three countries prior to presenting a detailed analysis of the conceptualisation and measurement of homelessness; the institutions which address homelessness; and the evidence of change in the post-2008 period. The analysis demonstrates that challenges remain in comparing the nature of homelessness and policy responses across nation states, even where they have a number of similar characteristics, and despite some EU influence towards homelessness policy convergence. Similarly, national-level homelessness policy change could not be interpreted as entirely a result of the external shock of the 2008 general financial crisis, as existing national policy goals and programmes were also influential. Overall, embedded national frameworks and institutions were resilient, but sufficiently flexible to deliver longer term policy shifts in response to the changing nature of the homelessness problem and national policy goals. Institutionalism and path dependency were found to be useful in developing the comparative analysis of homelessness policy change and could be fruitfully applied in future longitudinal, empirical research across a wider range of countries.

“…Noen klarer å komme seg tilbake i en bosituasjon ved egen hjelp, mens det for andre vil vaere behov for bistand fra sosialtjenesten eller andre. Studier viser at det blant bostedsløse ikke er uvanlig å ha opplevd utkastelser (Dyb og Johannessen 2009). Johannessen og Dyb (2011) finner imidlertid at kommuner som blir presentert for en sak der en person har fått begjaering om utkastelse agerer veldig ulikt, og i noen tilfeller vil utkastelsen medføre bostedsløshet.…”
