Congrats, @hopeharvey.bsky.social! Eager to read this important book on how families double up to make ends meet amid the housing crisis and precarious labor market bsky.app/profile/prin...

I'm looking forward to reading this!

Racist policing and unaffordable housing are central crises of our time. Indefensible Spaces: Policing and the Struggle For Housing shows how they intersect in the Antelope Valley, Los Angeles County’s northern outpost and a key destination for those pushed out of LA.

Neat! (And congratulations!) I think this notion of doubling up as a "private safety net" is also a nice way to think about our recent findings for how people deal with housing shortage in Canada. homefreesociology.com/2025/03/11/h...

PUBLICATION DAY! Pick up a copy of Doubled Up to learn more about how families use doubling up as a private safety net and how these arrangements reshape family life.

Doubled Up author @hopeharvey.bsky.social spoke with @conordougherty.bsky.social for the @nytimes.com on the reasons families use shared housing as a safety net:

FYI: The Spencer Foundation, Kapor Foundation, The William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation have collaborated to offer $25K rapid response grants. "This rapid response bridge funding opportunity is for scholars and teams whose grants have recently been cancelled by NSF."

First look at the design cover for my new book! Pre-order link available soon—stay tuned!
