  • Where do you live? [Elektronski vir] : housing and long-term care = Kje živiš? : nastanitev in dolgotrajna oskrba
    Flaker, Vito ...
    Having a home is a necessity and a formal right in our civilisation. On the other hand it is treated as a luxury. The accounts of housing problems such as losing a house due to hospitalisation, being ... a neighbourhood scapegoat, having nowhere to return, being compelled to live with the perpetrators of abuse, having nowhere to put oneʼs belonging, being expropriated of the accommodation on the account of being in an institution or being sent to an institution because of having been expropriated of a housing property, show that it is easy to lose a home when someone is vulnerable and that not having a home makes a person more vulnerable. A dwelling is the base of the identity. Therefore it should be granted, especially to those who may suffer major blows to their social identities. Providing housing to the vulnerable groups can be done with: anti-discriminatory measures, social assistance and support, and better housing provision. Institutions should not be an answer to housing distress and should be replaced by short term accommodation to overcome critical episodes and to give people in distress an opportunity for independent living. Having a right to an abode should, however, not be solely individual but also a means of creating spaces where people live together.
