To all potential participants,

Thank you for your interest in the Making Housing Home project! We're trying to get a sense of how people's housing situations relate to their everyday life and sense of home. Our research team is affiliated with the UBC Sociology department and led by Professor Nathanael Lauster. We're looking for participants able to take part in multiple interviews. We offer $25 gift certificates as thanks for participating. If you're interested in becoming a participant, please provide us with the following details THROUGH FACEBOOK MESSAGES:

1) your name
2) your age
3) the neighbourhood you are currently living in

4) contact details – what is the best way to reach you? e-mail address and/or phone number -- this information will be used to make initial contact and to schedule an interview time slot.

We can be messaged on Facebook, or reached via e-mail ([email protected]) or phone (778-628-7948). We're also happy to answer (to the best of our ability) any other questions you might have.

Thanks again for your interest!

How do you make yourself at home? Participants needed in the Making Housing Home research project! We’re using interviews and collaborative mapping of daily activities to help us understand how housing is important in making people feel at home. Participants will be asked to take part in multiple interviews over two years, involving an expectation of about 90 minutes per interview. We offer $25 gift certificates in thanks after every interview, and participants can withdraw from the research at any time. The UBC-based project looks at home, housing, and everyday life in two very different settings (Vancouver, BC and Arviat, Nunavut). If interested, participants may also elect to take part in sub-studies, including photo gathering and GPS tracking. For inquiries or to sign up for the project, please contact Professor Nathanael Lauster’s team via Facebook or e-mail: [email protected] or reach us via telephone: (778) 628-7948.

How do different housing situations relate to people’s everyday activities and experiences of home?
