This episode explores the challenges of moving from a shelter to permanent housing, and the role of homelessness outreach workers in supporting people at risk and those experiencing homelessness. Sara is joined by Joe, a shelter guest at Quesnel Shelter and Support Society and Jen Gardiner, a Homelessness Prevention Program outreach worker living in northern BC. Joe and Jen talk about how access to housing could change to help people experiencing homelessness.
