Housing First Ōtautahi

World Homeless Day Exhibition

This photo voice project was designed to empower the homeless allowing them to tell their own story while protecting their mental and physical wellbeing. Together with the help of Housing First Ōtautahi and the Christchurch Methodist Mission, people living on the streets were given assistance to photograph their daily lives for an exhibition marking World Homeless Day. Those taking part were also interviewed about their lives and asked to explain why the photos they took mattered.  Without the extraordinary generosity of Housing First community workers none of this would have been possible, their work with vulnerable and marginalised people living on the streets is above and beyond.
