HOUSING & HOMELESSNESS
Middle and high school students at the Perry School Community Services Center selected housing and homelessness as the issues they wanted to document.
Most of the students come from the neighborhoods surrounding the center in the North Capitol St. area of D.C., an area currently in the midst of a major, long-term redevelopment project. Residents are struggling with the impact of displacement, gentrification, and access to housing, themes which are reflected in the students’ images and writing.
