Anotace: OBJECTIVES: To map the performance of social work in supporting people in acute housing

crisis, including the factors that represent barriers and those that represent sources of support.
THEORETICAL BASE: Housing need, Luhmann approach to exclusion/inclusion, eco
systemic model of social work. METHODS: An integrated approach combining literature research,
semi-structured interviews with actors addressing housing need, thematic coding of responses.
OUTCOMES: The role of social workers in dealing effectively with housing distress is perceived
as simultaneously central, powerless and under threat. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: The
results of the research contribute to the discussion on the necessity of systemic change in the
processes of ending housing distress at the micro, meso, and macro levels, the specification of the
role of social work in the processes of ending housing distress, and the necessity of involvement of
social workers in setting equitable policies.
