Shelter Hopping
View through CrossRef
This chapter outlines the institutional displacements and disenfranchisements of Durban's street youth population. It follows their movements from shelter to shelter as they attempt to establish a semblance of stability in a precarious situation of state-sanctioned evictions and arrests. One of these shelters is Thuthukani, a children's street shelter located in the metropolis of Durban. The chapter also discusses the centrality of Point Place as a viable yet problematic housing option for older street youth and females. In this sense, it sets up the overarching narrative of the study, in which the youth look to each other to mitigate the hardships of their urban poverty.
