Six attends the opening of Homeground, Auckland City Mission’s state-of-the-art facility and residence for the homeless.

Six meets Joanne, Ngā Wātene Māori Ō Akarana Ki Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland City District Māori Wardens), who reveals her journey back from sexual abuse, drug addiction and homelessness.

Since 2018, Sunday Blessings has coordinated over 140,000 meal packs for our un-housed community through food rescue, donations and love from their community kitchen.

Six visits two Auckland City Mission housing initiatives; a transitional housing facility for wāhine offering a safe place to live and trauma-informed therapy and a refurbished hotel.

In her hometown, Six visits a night shelter where she was first homeless while transitioning. She discovers the place has changed immeasurably to meet the needs of today’s more gender-diverse population.

After revisiting her hometown of Hamilton, Six reflects on coming out trans, becoming homeless, finding shelter and studying for a journalism degree. She decides to visit her mum.

Clearly staying at home during a pandemic is a problem if you haven’t got a home! This episode explores the unique problems Covid-19 posed for both the homeless community and those seeking to help them.
