A network of interlocking systems of racialized, classed, and gendered oppression contributes to the “feminization of homelessness.” Unequal and low pay, unpaid caregiving, lack of affordable housing, discrimination, a weak safety net, punitive welfare and public housing policies, and intimate partner violence (IPV) are among the many factors that contribute to women's homelessness. Despite their intersections, these factors are often considered in isolation. Arguing for movement away from single‐axis conceptualizations of women's homelessness, we offer an intersectional analysis of mothers’ pathways into homelessness that foregrounds structural inequalities, highlights relational power dynamics, and reveals multilevel intersections of identity and experience. Drawing on two complementary interview studies, we explore two interrelated pathways into homelessness: (1) IPV as a gendered, racialized, and classed experience that contributes to economic and housing precarity; and (2) intersections of weak and restrictive safety net programs with raced, classed, and gendered “discipline.” We trace how privilege and disadvantage cumulate across women's lives and how institutional and relational power intersect with common “shocks” (e.g., eviction, loss of employment). We attend closely to the racialized and gendered dynamics of economic abuse; how gender, race, class, and motherhood shape pathways into homelessness; and how these intersections inform institutional responses to economic and housing precarity.

对无家可归的女性化与母亲住房危机的交叉分析

种族压迫，阶级压迫和性别压迫互锁系统的网络有助于“无家可归的女性化”。造成妇女无家可归的众多因素包括不平等和低薪，无偿护理，缺乏负担得起的住房，歧视，安全网薄弱，惩罚性福利和公共住房政策以及亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）。尽管存在交叉点，但通常会孤立地考虑这些因素。主张摆脱妇女无家可归的单轴概念，我们对母亲无家可归的途径进行了交叉分析，提出了结构性不平等现象，强调了关系力量的动态，并揭示了身份和经验的多层次交叉点。借助两项补充访谈研究，我们探索了两个无家可归的无家可归途径：（1）IPV是一种性别，种族和阶级化的经历，有助于经济和住房的不稳定；（2）薄弱和限制性的安全网计划与种族，分类和性别的“纪律”相交。我们追踪了特权和不利因素如何在妇女的生活中累积，以及机构和关系权力与常见的“冲击”（例如迁离，失业）之间的交叉关系。我们密切关注经济滥用的种族化和性别化动态；性别，种族，阶级和母亲身份如何塑造无家可归的途径；以及这些交叉点如何告知机构对经济和住房危机的反应。（2）薄弱和限制性的安全网计划与种族，分类和性别的“纪律”相交。我们追踪了特权和不利因素如何在妇女的生活中累积，以及机构和关系权力与常见的“冲击”（例如迁离，失业）之间的交叉关系。我们密切关注经济滥用的种族化和性别化动态；性别，种族，阶级和母亲身份如何塑造无家可归的途径；以及这些交叉点如何告知机构对经济和住房危机的反应。（2）薄弱和限制性的安全网计划与种族，分类和性别的“纪律”相交。我们追踪了特权和不利因素如何在妇女的生活中累积，以及机构和关系权力与常见的“冲击”（例如迁离，失业）之间的交叉关系。我们密切关注经济滥用的种族化和性别化动态；性别，种族，阶级和母亲身份如何塑造无家可归的途径；以及这些交叉点如何告知机构对经济和住房危机的反应。我们密切关注经济滥用的种族化和性别化动态；性别，种族，阶级和母亲身份如何塑造无家可归的途径；以及这些交叉点如何告知机构对经济和住房危机的反应。我们密切关注经济滥用的种族化和性别化动态；性别，种族，阶级和母亲身份如何塑造无家可归的途径；以及这些交叉点如何告知机构对经济和住房危机的反应。
