Homelessness, a growing global issue, demands local discussions and solutions, especially highlighted by the coronavirus pandemic. Recent political discourse often suggests that poverty is a personal failing, implying that those experiencing homelessness simply haven't tried hard enough to secure shelter and livelihood. While architecture alone cannot resolve homelessness, it raises essential questions about its role and potential collaboration with other disciplines to create permanent housing solutions. This exploration delves into the expertise of various sectors, including national, regional, and city agencies, NGOs, healthcare, and academia. Through scholarly essays, interviews, architectural case studies, and research on the historical and current situations in cities like Los Angeles, Moscow, Mumbai, New York, São Paulo, San Francisco, Shanghai, and Tokyo, the work presents diverse perspectives on homelessness and its related challenges. It aims to dissect this pressing issue into manageable parts, allowing the complexities and specificities of one of today's most urgent crises to emerge clearly.
