People experiencing homelessness (PEH) face difficult challenges when advocating for their health needs. These challenges can range from structural to interpersonal, impacting the quality of care these communities are able to receive as well as their future willingness to engage with medical spaces. Furthermore, patient-provider relationships that are impacted by the discrimination, stigma, and alienation that unhoused communities face on a daily basis can have a negative causative effect on self-reported desire to seek care. While photography has been used to document the experiences of unhoused communities, few methods have allowed unhoused individuals to be behind the camera, choosing what images should be used to drive the discussion around their experiences. Through the collection of original photographs sourced via a photo-elicitation prompt and taken by unhoused participants as they navigated their healthcare appointments, as well as a follow-up qualitative interview, we aimed to better understand the following points:

1. What are the positive and negative experiences of unhoused patients as they navigate healthcare settings?

2. What recommendations do PEH have on how to facilitate successful physical and mental health outcomes for PEH?

3. What opportunities and frameworks can we identify to positively engage unhoused individuals in healthcare spaces?
