Project Description:
This participatory action research (PAR) project is a collaboration with the University of Denver and a community project supporting unhoused young people to build civic infrastructure that centers lived expertise of homelessness. The team will co-train each other to build skills of inquiry and action, engage in collaborative participatory research, and formalize a peer support program—all while studying their process to inform how civic infrastructure can be built through PAR.
