Formerly Homeless Residents of San Diego’s SROs Use Photovoice to Describe Their Living Experiences
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Residents of single room occupancy units (SROs) in San Diego, California, USA who were formerly homeless employed Photovoice (Wang & Burris, 1997) to describe how they feel about their current living situations and were then interviewed about this experience as well as the significance of the images they captured. A visual critical ethnographic approach (Bloomberg & Volpe, 2016; Peattie, 2022) was used to analyze interview transcripts from 14 participants. Interviews revealed three primary themes related to the images themselves: Photovoice allowed participants to produce liberatory insights about their housing and themselves; visually documenting aspects of their living spaces enabled participants to critically analyze housing management systems; and engaging in photography allowed participants to reflect on pivotal moments in their life journeys. Interviews additionally revealed three themes related to engagement with Photovoice: Photovoice empowered participants to create emancipatory narratives; inspired civic engagement; and provided a therapeutic means of communication. This study lends credence to Photovoice as a tool of empowerment and offers valuable information for providers and policymakers in their quest to design more supportive and affirming assistance for individuals re-entering housing through SROs.

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.
