Abstract
Some
of the
poorest
people
in
St.
John's
live
in
illegally
operated
boarding
houses.
These
people
include
alcoholics
,
drug-addicts
,
ex-offenders
,
mentally
and
physical
handicaped
,
old
age
pensioners
, and
structurally
unemployed
people.
Most
are
single
,
unemployed
, and
lacking
in
close
family
and
friendship
ties
in the
city.
Almost
all
rely
on
some
form
of
state
support
for their
maintenance
, and this
support
is
often
inadequate
in
meeting
their
day
to
day
needs.
This
thesis
describes
life
in the
low
income
boarding
house
, and
provides
an
analysis
of the
social
milieu
of the
boarders:
their
relations
with
each
other
, with the
wider
society
, and the
institution
with
which
they
interact.
