Role: To support the governance of the organisation through evidence-based decision making and a focus on the needs, goals and experiences of young people.
“There is strong evidence that without access to safe, stable housing, young people are less able to engage with education, employment, health services and therapeutic supports. Housing is crucial to enabling young people to get their lives on track and thrive. I’m excited to be on the Board of Directors, highlighting Hope Street’s work supporting young people in times of crisis and working with them to achieve sustainable housing solutions.”
