As U.S. municipal governments expand their use of sanctioned tiny home villages to manage rising homelessness, municipalities’ desire to create tent-city encampments often obscure the environmental and climate risks present in the siting of their locations. This chapter examines such risks for those living within organized tiny home villages/ tent-city encampments. Drawing from research in Portland, Oregon, U.S.A, where sanctioned and organized encampments have been recently legalized as land uses within the city’s zoning codes, I illustrate how social inequities inherent to such modes of living are exacerbated by environmental conditions brought on by a changing climate. The chapter illustrates how urban heat, and the more situated risks of industrial pollution, impact the well-being of unhoused communities. The chapter concludes by arguing that we cannot disentangle socio-economic struggles of unhoused communities from the environmental and climate inequities degrading their lived experiences and that the path to more stable housing conditions requires the reduction of avoidable environmental risks.
