Recorded in July 2021, this webinar is a conversation between Neihana Gordon-Stables (Homelessness Support Worker at RainbowYOUTH), Nyx Simons (Homelessness Lead at Te Ngākau Kahukura and project lead for Making Space) and Tycho Vandenburg (PhD candidate at the University of Auckland, researching transgender and gender diverse homelessness in Aotearoa, and part of the Making Space team). Tycho, Nyx and Neihana discuss what rainbow homelessness looks like in Aotearoa, barriers to housing and homelessness support, and how services can be safer and more inclusive.
