CURRENT STUDY RECRUITMENT
Doubled Up Portland: We are currently recruiting participants for research on low-income doubled-up or multigenerational Hispanic/Latinx immigrant households in the Portland Metro Area. We are looking to speak with folks about their experiences with housing and health. If you 1) live with at least one additional person in your household who is not your partner/spouse or a child under 25 years of age, 2) are at least 18 years old, and 3) make around $20 or less per hour, please reach out!
Implementing Culturally-Specific PSH: We are currently recruiting participants for research on culturally-specific permanent supportive housing (PSH). If you 1) identify as a person of color and 2) are currently in culturally-specific PSH housing, please reach out! This study is funded by the National Alliance to End Homelessness.
