Description
Christine Walsh studies how older male veterans with no home find a sense of place in Calgary, Canada, in a 2024 paper. Veterans face a far higher risk of life with no home than most people. They tend to be older, male, and marked by illness.
The study sits in a small-home barracks, a short-stay house held up as a model of its kind. Walsh drew on talks with five staff and with ten men who live there. The men were paired with photos they took. Staff named the scheme's strengths and its snags, plus walls in the wider system. The men named what lets them settle: choice, kinship with peers, a daily rhythm, safety, and being known. Age bias cut the other way. The paper ends with tips for houses built for such men.
