Migrant Homelessness and the Crimmigration Control System explores the drivers of homelessness following migration by unpacking the housing consequences of 'crimmigration control systems' in the US and the UK.

Migrant homelessness and the crimmigration control system provide fresh perspectives on the factors contributing to homelessness among migrants by examining the housing implications of 'crimmigration control systems' in the United States and the United Kingdom. The book introduces the concept of 'housing sacrifice' to comprehend the experiences of individuals navigating homelessness and the coping strategies employed by migrants. Supported by robust empirical research, it makes a compelling argument for a 'social citizenship right to housing' that is guaranteed across social, political, and civil realms of society.
The book is organized around the 30 life stories of individuals who have migrated to the capital cities of Boston and Edinburgh from Central America and Eastern Europe. These narratives are complemented by interviews with a diverse range of stakeholders, including frontline caseworkers, activists, and policymakers. Guided by the principles of critical realist theory, this book conducts a biographical inquiry into the intersections of race, class, and gender, offering insights into the daily precarity experienced by homeless migrants by directly engaging with them.
This book will appeal to students, scholars, and policymakers specializing in various fields such as housing, immigration, criminology, sociology, and human geography. It sheds light on the complex dynamics surrounding migrant homelessness and provides valuable insights into the need for comprehensive policies and interventions to address this pressing issue.
