“…Latinx renters also face disproportionate risks for housing insecurity because of interpersonal and structural racism that is likely to increase reliance on informal housing provision (Rugh 2014; Swope and Hernández 2019). And though not present in our data, immigrant groups who are excluded from subsidized housing resources must often rely on networks as a source of housing (Usman, Maslova, and Burgess 2021).…”

“…It engages with state responses to informal housing for low-income communities by examining adaptive interventions – including infrastructure upgrading (Turner, 1972), aesthetics-based governance (Ghertner, 2010) and pro-environmental interventions (Jabeen and Guy, 2015; Nie, 2021) – as an alternative to forced eviction in pursuit of housing equity (Chien, 2018; Roy, 2005; Wigle, 2014). However, this scholarship implicitly co-opts the politics of connivance encouraging state–business complicity in speculative housing informality because it has not highlighted flexible-yet-just engagements with desire-based forms of informal housing (McFarlane, 2012; Mohammad et al, 2021; Roy, 2011). Critics merely mark illegal construction and development as too shady and complex, despite acknowledging the economic and ecological risks associated with them (Chiodelli, 2019; Zugayar et al, 2021).…”

“…Eftersom den informella förmedlingen av bostäder bygger på kontakter i de ghananska och i de bredare västafrikanska nätverken har de ghananska migranter som befinner sig i landet "utan papper" jämförelsevis ett försprång -deras starka sociala förankring var en förutsättning för att de skulle kunna komma till USA överhuvudtaget. Usman et al (2021) konstaterar att denna förankring ger dem tillgång till de bättre segmenten av den informella marknaden men också hjälper dem att kliva över trösklarna in på den formella marknaden trots att de inte uppfyller de formella kraven.…”

“…Att vantrivas likväl som osäkra omständigheter i form av oklara kontraktsförhållanden och kortsiktighet bidrar till att människor söker sig vidare i långa flyttkedjor, vilket motverkar möjligheterna till lokal integration men också riskerar att bidra till hemlöshet (Flatau et al 2015). Liksom i studien av Usman et al (2021) om ghananer i New York framgår att den informella förmedlingen av bostäder genom sociala nätverk är avgörande oavsett om vi befinner oss i de sociala bostädernas Wien (Aigner 2019), i Vancouver (Francis & Hiebert 2014) eller Köln (Adam et al).…”
