I am working on a research project on Anarcho-Communism but I do require some help. That being, is there any concrete evidence that there was sufficient housing in the USSR or during the Catalonia revolution or any other Anarchist or Communist society within the past 100 years or so? Any help, specifically sources will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance. :)

There isn't much evidence because we haven't had a successful revolution yet (those who say we have need to pull their heads out of their ass). The best thing you can do is use examples of certain communes that exist and have existed. Also (i dont know what the rules of your project are) you can speculate that in a anarcho-society that there will be better family planning and more efficient uses of resources.

The USSR 'abolished' homelessness. If you were a citizen, you had a place to live.

Have you thought about using primitive communal living as an example for instance early Christian societies further illustrated by the Amish community?

Second this notion, and in addition, for anarchist communes look here (but don't cite Wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anarchist_communities.
This might help even though many of them aren't accurate.

Hmm thanks, I think I will use the EZLN and their communities since there seems to have the most information on them.

Thank you I will definitely check it out! :)

Yes I am aware but I thought I could analyze it and compare if it did in fact eliminate homelessness, but it turns out they just made it illegal..
