| Abstract | According to several studies and many official international documents the right to adequate housing is an important social determinant of health. There is even general consensus that the notion of home encompasses more than shelter. We use the term “home” throughout this study to refer both to the shelter provided and the way we inhabit it. This thesis demonstrates the process by which a house becomes a home. The important elements for building a home are highlighted as well as their duality. We analyze the role that enabling/constraining forces have in the process of building a home for and by current and former street dwellers suffering from mental disorders. This qualitative study includes semi-structured in-depth interviews, observations and document analysis. The results are presented in articles. In the first paper we examine the concept of Home/Chez-soi and explore its relevance when applied to street dwellers suffering from mental disorders. The second paper examines the practices, policies and services available for street dwellers and former street dwellers in Brazil; as well as enabling and constraining effects they have home dwellers. Finally, the third article focuses principally on the relationship between the past and the present social conditions and social networks of former street dwellers suffering from mental disorders and their process of building home. |
