“We Deserve the Dignity of Being Housed”: LGBTQ2+ Housing Experiences in Fresno County, California
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and Two-Spirit (LGBTQ2+) adults experience homelessness and housing precarity at greater rates than their cisgender and heterosexual counterparts. Although LGBTQ2+ adult individuals make up a significant portion of the homeless population, the oppression and barriers they experience are often invisiblized. Research on LGBTQ2+ housing experiences and homelessness in the United States has predominantly focused on individuals in larger urban centers and on homeless LGBTQ2+ youth. This study focuses on the housing experiences of LGBTQ2+ adults living in Fresno, California. The City of Fresno and Fresno County are situated within the Central Valley, a largely rural area with limited resources that has one of the fastest-growing poverty rates in the state. Understanding LGBTQ2+ adult housing experiences not only provides critical insight into the housing barriers in Fresno but also provides a template for similar research in other mixed urban and rural areas. Using empirical data, this study provides a deeper understanding regarding queer precarity and ontological security surrounding housing and LGBTQ2+ communities.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
