CARLETON UNIVERSITY, SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK

 

NEW COURSE: Affordable Housing and Homelessness

SOWK 4209 B (Special Studies) - CRN 15852

 

Winter Term (January 2011 - April 2011) 

Thursdays 8:30AM - 11:30AM

 

Instructor: Nick Falvo

 

The purpose of the course is to provide an introduction to the economic 

and social basis of affordable housing and homelessness. The starting 

point is a survey of Canadian housing and homelessness indicators. 

>From there we will devote a session to the "housing market" before 

embarking on several sessions in which we will examine the history of 

housing policy in Canada. We will then look at housing for 

marginalized groups, homelessness, and health implications of both 

inadequate housing and no housing at all. The last three classes will 

look at provincial regulation of housing, municipal regulation of 

housing and potential solutions to the problem of the lack of 

affordable housing respectively.

 

Course Instructor: Nick Falvo is a PhD Candidate at Carleton's School 

of Public Policy and Administration. He is the author of several 

policy papers on affordable housing and homelessness, a frequent guest 

lecturer at Canadian universities, and the main researcher on a 

three-year SSHRC-funded study looking at affordable housing and 

homelessness in the Northwest Territories. Prior to beginning his 

doctoral studies at Carleton, he spent 10 years working as a community 

worker in Toronto, working primarily with homeless individuals.
