Coalitions of formal housing, civil rights and anti-poverty organisations play an important role in urban housing movements. However, the extent and dynamics of these ‘housing movement coalitions’ are not well understood. In this article, I document the geography of housing movement coalitions across 148 US cities using leadership networks among 11.8 million civic leaders. I show that cohesive coalitions of formal housing, civil rights and anti-poverty leaders exist in a wide range of US cities, including in conservative states. In terms of change, housing coalitions have only grown in a handful of politically liberal cities since the global financial crisis, and most housing coalitions have stagnated and some have declined. Finally, change score regression models indicate that economic insecurity is associated with housing coalition emergence, but municipal austerity and hostile political environments may weaken the opportunities for coalitions to expand. These findings suggest movement scholars should widen their focus to include housing coalitions in more diverse contexts, and more closely examine how municipal funding shapes housing coalitions and their relationship to grassroots activism.

美国住房运动联盟：城市民间社会领袖大型网络的趋势

正规住房、民权和反贫困组织的联盟在城市住房运动中发挥着重要作用。然而，这些“住房运动联盟”的范围和动态尚不清楚。在本文中，我利用 1180 万公民领袖的领导网络记录了美国 148 个城市的住房运动联盟的地理分布。我表明，正式住房、民权和反贫困领导人的紧密联盟存在于美国的许多城市，包括保守的州。就变化而言，自全球金融危机以来，住房联盟仅在少数政治自由的城市中有所增长，大多数住房联盟停滞不前，有些甚至有所下降。最后，变化分数回归模型表明，经济不安全与住房联盟的出现有关，但市政紧缩和敌对的政治环境可能会削弱联盟扩张的机会。这些发现表明，运动学者应该扩大关注范围，将住房联盟纳入更多样化的背景下，并更仔细地研究市政资金如何塑造住房联盟及其与草根激进主义的关系。
