OAHS Photovoice Project
Brantford Native Housing Recently took part in a participatory action based research (photovoice) project with Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services (OAHS) with 21 service providers including BNH.
Photovoice is a participatory action research method that employs photography and group dialogue as a means for marginalized individuals to deepen their understanding of a community issue or concern. The visual images and accompanying stories are the tools used to reach policy- and decision-makers. The aim of this research method is to improve conditions by making changes at the community level.
