We are Community Researchers – people living with HIV and passionate about housing research and advocacy. This project has provided us with the opportunity to share our housing successes and struggles through a method called Photovoice.
We used Photovoice to reflect on our community’s strengths and needs, engage with policymakers and work towards social change.
Our photos and narratives convey the importance of stable, safe, affordable housing. Without healthy homes we cannot live healthy lives – adhere to our medication, attend doctors appointments, and eat nutritious food.
We honour all those who support this work:
The BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS
The Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research
Simon Fraser University
McLaren Housing Society
