A home is far more than just a building. A home is where you can create your everyday-life and a place to relax. When you think of a daily routine, a house is almost always the place that comes first to mind. A home can also refer to an institution that will create an opportunity to have a normalized living.

A home is far more than just a building. A home is where you can create your everyday-life and a place to relax. When you think of a daily routine, a house is almost always the place that comes first to mind. A home can also refer to an institution that will create an opportunity to have a normalized living. On the contrary, there are people in society who have a life that does not include a home. The purpose of this study was to explore the everyday-life of people who does not have a home, and what other controlling institutions there are to be found in the absence of a home. Through a qualitative study, both professionals working in the field and homeless people in Lund have been interviewed with a purpose to let their stories describe the structure of the everyday-life for homeless people in Lund. The interviews have resulted in an insight and a knowledge that implies the fact that stories from both professionals and homeless people are similar to one another. The descriptions show that homeless people have an everyday-life controlled by several institutions offering them support with daily needs. Examples of mentioned institutions are Diakonicentralen (voluntary organization in Lund), the shelter and Social Services. In the public sphere there is other authorities, such as police and security guards, who set the limits of the ability of homeless people to move around the city. Beside mentioned institutions there are also city residents who acts as a controlling institution due to their acting through either acceptance or rejection. The homeless people are described as spending a lot of time looking to raise money to meet their daily needs, which may involve the need to maintain an abuse. (Less)
