Abstract
Abstract Homelessness is increasingly being addressed with tiny house villages. These developments face barriers, the greatest of which is NIMBYism (Not-in-my-backyard sentiment) (Evans, 2021). Through a stakeholder survey, this research examines community perceptions of, and preferences for, various visual, physical, and social factors related to tiny house villages for the homeless. The survey finds that stakeholders do have distinct preferences for certain physical characteristics and traits related to tiny house villages for the homeless. The research suggests that taking such preferences into account may result in tiny house villages for the homeless that enjoy greater community support than those that do not.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Housing Policy aims to be the leading forum for the critical analysis of housing policy, systems and practice from a social science perspective. It is published quartely. We welcome articles based on policy-relevant research and analysis focused on all parts of the world. We especially encourage papers that contribute to comparative housing analysis, but articles on national or sub-national housing systems are also welcome if they contain data, arguments or policy implications that are relevant to an international audience.
