“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.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
