I. INTRODUCTION 92 II. THE HOUSE THAT SPAIN BUILT: FINANCIALIZATION, REPOSSESSIONS, EVICTIONS, 95 AND GHOST TOWNS III. INNOVATIVE ACTIVISM--THE LANGUAGE AND ACTION OF PROTEST 101 IV. STRUCTURING HOUSING CLAIMS THROUGH [...], A new public-private law paradigm is developing with respect to the relationship of the state to private contracts. The paradigm melds private law concepts like unconscionability, good faith, and fair dealing with the public human rights principles of dignity and vulnerability. I trace this paradigm shift in the context of the housing law of Spain, where several rich cultural and legal resources have inspired a new sensibility with regard to residential mortgage loan contracts, rental agreements, and the overall duties and obligations of governments to address the citizenry's housing needs. Although this reorientation reflects decisions from the European Court of Justice and from the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, it is equally driven by an organic transformation in our understanding of housing markets and redistributive justice. Rather than receive the new paradigm with myopic trepidation, observers should herald it as the beginning of a much-needed dialogue between the public, human rights discourse, private business interests, and economic markets.

By the mid-1960s young Aboriginal people in Victoria were streaming into the child welfare system, in the name of 'protection', in unprecedented and vastly disproportionate numbers. This movement occurred in the wake of government attempts to establish Aboriginal housing settlements. This paper argues that the logic and practices through which Aborigines were judged as suitable or not for a new transitional housing scheme rendered them accountable to mainstream child welfare practices, and hence how governments could think and act upon their circumstances devoid of the context of colonisation. It explores the gap between the banner of liberalism under which the scheme was launched and the authoritarianism that continued to pervade administrative practice, despite declarations from the late 1950s of an end to all racially discriminatory law and the promise of freedom to Aboriginal peoples., Policing 'neglect' Present-day readers--who are likely attuned to a history of forced separations of Aboriginal children from families, the Howard government's tight coupling of Aboriginality with neglect and abuse of [...]

The Housing First approach is a social policy directive for addressing homelessness, but there is a lack of clear evidence of its effectiveness with youth experiencing homelessness. At the community level, service providers are implementing 'youth-focussed Housing First' without the research support to evaluate the efficacy of this approach in providing stable housing that promotes a positive transition to adulthood. This comprehensive literature review includes ten of the most widely used social services databases, confirming a deficit of diverse perspectives and research evidence such as evaluative studies and peer reviewed articles validating the Housing First approach with youth. A comprehensive review of grey literature was also completed to determine what is known about youth-focussed Housing First and the most significant gaps in research. This article sets out directions for future research and produces social policy recommendations for all levels of Canadian government that will support Housing First programs that meet the unique developmental needs of youth. At the grassroots level, communities are adapting the Housing First approach to youth; this needs to be recognized and supported by research that evaluates the impact these programs are having in the lives of young people in order to inform scalability efforts to work towards eradicating youth homelessness. The hope is that youth-focussed Housing First develops a robust discussion in academic research. Keywords: Youth; housing first; housing first for youth; literature review L'approche Logement d'abord est une directive de politique sociale visant à lutter contre l'itinérance, cependant, son efficacité n'est pas clairement démontrée auprès des jeunes en situation d'itinérance. Au niveau communautaire, les fournisseurs de services mettent en oeuvre un programme << Logement d'abord >> pour les jeunes malgré le manque d'études pour évaluer l' efficacité de cette approche afin de fournir aux jeunes un logement stable qui favorise une transition positive vers l'âge adulte. Cet article de revue détaillé inclut dix des bases de données de services sociaux les plus utilisées, ce qui aide à confirmer le manque de perspectives variées et de données de recherche telles que des études d'évaluation et des articles examinés par des pairs afin de valider l'approche << Logement d'abord >> pour les jeunes. Une analyse détaillée de la documentation parallèle a également été réalisée afin de déterminer ce que l'on sait des programmes Logement d'abord pour les jeunes et les principales lacunes de la recherche. Cet article conçoit les orientations des futures études et présente des recommandations de politique sociale à tous les niveaux du gouvernement canadien, qui soutiendront les programmes Logement d' abord afin de répondre aux besoins développementaux uniques des jeunes. Au niveau local, les communautés adaptent l'approche Logement d'abord aux jeunes. Cela doit être reconnu et soutenu par des études qui évaluent l' impact de ces programmes sur la vie des jeunes afin de guider les efforts d'extensibilité visant à éradiquer l'itinérance des jeunes.
