Home: a new normal

Over the years, my work on homelessness has focused on themes of home, displacement, vulnerability and care and on the way in which trauma is formative of physiologies which long carry and reproduce a raw suffering to which housing only partly responds. As I have discussed elsewhere, it is also work which has led to what I think are vicarious but permanent scars that so many professionals in this field carry and to which I have not been immune.¹
