Abstract
Canada's housing crisis affects low-income immigrants seeking affordable housing. One option for increasing affordability is collaborative housing. However, for collaborative housing to be adequate for immigrants, it is critical to know what designs meet their needs. This study used co-design workshops with low-income recent immigrants in Canada to explore their housing pathways, needs and preferences. Participants developed artefacts corresponding to their dream homes, to minimum acceptable housing, and to collaborative housing. These artefacts were digitally translated into five core models of collaborative housing. The results show that the Research Through Design approach, combined with co-design methods, can be used effectively to identify models of collaborative housing for low-income recent immigrants and to envision alternative housing futures.

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 it
