The article reframes liminality to read housing precarity and advances “inhabited thresholds”: provisional spaces turned into longer-term homes stabilized in precarity, affectively invested and sustained by fragile care networks. It moves beyond emergency and resilience narratives and points to urban policy tools such as light-touch recognition, proximity micro-infrastructures, and support for community-led care.
