Paid employment has been viewed by successive governments in the UK as critical in making transitions out of homelessness, even when combined with problems like substance misuse, criminality or mental ill health. This article presents evidence from a study that sought to subject this belief to critical examination by exploring the relationship between promoting employability and other aspects of resettlement in the lives of a sample of thirty people experiencing homelessness and complex needs. Participants were interviewed twice at six to nine-month intervals to explore their changing motivations and perceptions of housing, work, relationships and hopes for the future.Analysis used ‘pathways’ imagery to locate participants along an integrated pathway to understand how these factors related to one another in the pursuit of resettlement. We conclude that all respondents valued work, but its pursuit depended on the structural obstacles that participants faced. People’s location along a resettlement pathway was determined by their sense of control over circumstances, their success in overcoming barriers and the presence of significant others in their lives, and the pursuit of employment among homeless people needs to take account of progress in their resettlement journeys and the place of work in their aspirations.

重新安置途径:了解工作和其他因素在摆脱无家可归之旅中的相互作用

英国历届政府都将有偿就业视为摆脱无家可归的关键,即使与药物滥用、犯罪或精神疾病等问题相结合。本文提供了一项研究的证据,该研究试图通过在 30 名经历无家可归和复杂需求的人的样本中探索提高就业能力与重新安置的其他方面之间的关系,对这种信念进行批判性检验。参与者每 6 到 9 个月接受两次采访,以探索他们不断变化的动机和对住房、工作、人际关系和对未来的希望的看法。分析使用“路径”图像沿着综合路径定位参与者,以了解这些因素如何与相互寻求安置。我们得出结论,所有受访者都重视工作,但其追求取决于参与者面临的结构性障碍。人们在安置路径上的位置取决于他们对环境的控制感、他们成功克服障碍和生活中重要他人的存在,以及无家可归者寻求就业需要考虑到他们在安置过程中的进展和在他们的愿望中工作的地方。
