"As a Housing Support Worker, I advocate for individuals experiencing homelessness. I believe everyone deserves safe and secure housing, yet too often, people facing homelessness, addiction, or mental health challenges are discriminated against by landlords and property managers. My goal is to change this by promoting housing as a basic human right, free from stigma and barriers."
