Throughout the twentieth century, housing movements in Atlanta were anchored by public housing tenant associations and a politics that materially and spatially addressed intersectional issues of discrimination in employment, welfare, education, and housing. I argue the strategies and outcomes of these movements collectivised, embedded, and placed Anneli Anttonen and Jorma Sipilä’s “care capital”—or an expansion of resources for care—in bell hooks’ “homeplaces”, for those marginalised both in social welfare policies and in urban politics. Following the loss of over 7000 public housing units in Atlanta, tenant associations’ care politics and the residents served were displaced and disembedded from the revitalised city. Using archival data, this work examines how care politics are materially and spatially have historically, and are presently, situated across housing movement geographies through Black resistance strategies to collectivise and embed care capital for a broader public.
