How do LGBTQ+ individuals navigate the evolving landscape of housing when every aspect of the experience—safety, independence, and choice of housemates—is quantified and priced? This workshop invites you to reflect on your (mis)fortunes of finding and making queer housing, and explores the tension between queer resistance and market adaptation. What are strategies to resist structures and individuals (landlords and agents) who profit from our community needs? How can we reclaim this precarious autonomy? What compromises have you made in assembling a safe home– can we establish a minimum standard for queer housing? Attendees will contribute to a living map of queer housing realities—mapping desires, decent standards, and reflections on lived experiences. Through collective discussion and interactive storytelling, we chart pathways toward sustainable, equitable and joyous queer living.
