Week 3 reading- hidden homelessness in the suburbs: April 7, 2015. http://torontoist. com/2015/04/hidden-homelessness-in-the-suburbs: while homelessness is often thought of as a downtown phenomenon, experts warn of. Particularly in the suburbs and rural areas, families are staying in places not suited for human habitation, paradis notes. People living in their vehicles, people living in garages. The streets don"t have as much to offer in a suburban and rural environment. : paradis"s research found that one third of the respondents surveyed in seven communities (mid-scarborough, dorset-kennedy, weston-mount dennis, jane-finch, rexdale, Thorncliffe-flemingdon, and parkdale) were at a severe or critical risk of homelessness. The most prevalent indicators for inadequate housing included overcrowded housing, bad building conditions, and unaffordable housing. The quality of life isn"t all that different from someone who is homeless and living out on the street, which is why we call it hidden homelessness.
