Addressing Homelessness in Internal Displacement in the Philippines: What State Social Work Can Offer?
Zaldy C. Collado
What the paper says
Homelessness is a huge and complex problem in conflict-induced internal displacement in the Philippines. Despite its visible character, state social work seems to have a very limited response. While waiting for the construction of temporary housing, the study argues that state social work can help address homelessness in several ways (perhaps) not previously considered. The first is to introduce the internally displaced to the state agency that funds affordable housing. Second, is to work on potential access of the displaced population to financing institutions. Last, is for state social work to develop a program that will subsidise renting arrangements.
