This collection of collaborative photographs, co-created with LINC Housing residents in their favorite home places help bridge understanding of what home can mean to people who have lived outside.
Partner: LINC Housing
Date: ongoing since 2022
Focus Area: housing, migration, placemaking
Method: photographic community archive of environmental portraits highlighting what home looks like.
Why it matters: It can be difficult to understand the urgency and complexity of California’s housing situation without sitting with people who have encountered its raw challenges.
The photographs now populate organizational communication and funding appeals and grant proposals attempting to fill in where the federal government’s policies leave a gap.
I’m grateful to the many people who welcomed me into their homes for this photographic series—who introduced me to their parakeets or explained what the diplomas were for or shared early memories of childhood in Cuba.
