Community members’ knowledge of and experience with the Portland Street Response program
Portland Street Response (PSR) was implemented in Portland, Oregon to provide an alternative to police response for individuals in crisis related to mental illness, substance use, or homelessness in public space.

Most calls resulting in a PSR dispatch are made by housed community members, making it important to assess community members’ knowledge of PSR, their thoughts about accessing PSR through 911, and their expe…
Auto‐photovoice: A reflexive extension of photovoice methodology and its practice in a Covid‐quarantined community psychology course
This article introduces “auto‐photovoice,” a novel self‐reflexive extension of photovoice methodology where participant–researchers turn the camera on themselves to explore their personal experiences and observations of a phenomenon. In our exemplar project, students and faculty codesigned and implemented auto‐photovoice methodology during a 10‐week online community psychology graduate seminar during the COVID‐19 pandemic quarantine.

I'm taking control of my body and my sexuality with birth control”: Documenting the contraceptive experiences of unsheltered people capable of pregnancy

Leveraging research to inform prevention and intervention efforts: Identifying risk and protective factors for rural and urban homeless families within transitional housing programs
This mixed method study spotlights hardships and supportive factors for unhoused families led by single mothers who have successfully graduated from two transitional housing programs, one rural and one urban. Data collection consisted of entry and exit surveys (n = 241) as well as qualitative interviews (n = 11). Binary logistic regression results indicated education and social support as significant predictors of successful program completion. Q…
Placing a Spotlight on Rural Homelessness: Identifying the Barriers and Facilitators to Successfully Supporting Homeless Families within Rural Communities
This mixed-method study examined a rural homeless shelter serving families (a historically understudied population) and explored what factors (i.e., demographic, mental health, and social) influence whether an individual was successful in graduating shelter programming. Survey data was collected from 92 participants. Regression analysis tested demographics and a range of factors as predictors for successfully graduating the program. Findings indi…
