Abstract

Alison Smith's book, "Multiple Barriers: The Multilevel Governance of Homelessness in Canada," explores the complex network of actors involved in addressing homelessness in Canada. Smith's analysis focuses on the roles of federal and provincial governments, major cities, civic society organizations, Indigenous leaders, and private sector actors in shaping policies related to homelessness. The book highlights the impact of differing ideas about the nature of homelessness and who is responsible for addressing it on governance networks. Smith's work sheds light on the evolution of federal and provincial roles in homelessness programs and the unexpected consequences of retrenchment on urban governance in Canada.
