Housing justice - free public talk
Join us to hear Brook Turner talk about housing justice in Auckland and New Zealand Aotearoa. Thursday 18 May, 6.00 p.m.
172 Hinemoa Street, Birkenhead.
The housing crisis has reached catastrophic levels in recent times and been exacerbated by the effects of Covid19, the cost of living, recent weather events, and the looming recession. Yet, there remains hope that if Kiwis can band together, justice, equity and a chance at a fair go are still within reach. In this talk Brook will speak to the sobering realities many people face who are experiencing homelessness while pointing to hopeful threads of innovation that could help Auckland and NZ return to our egalitarian roots.

Brook’s values are based on his strong training in empowerment-based practice and uphold the mana and dignity of every individual while working to create strengths-based solutions to wicked problems. As a leader, Brook’s philosophy is to grow people first and collaborate to achieve collective impact where it doesn’t matter who receives the credit.

Brook recently submitted his thesis for his master’s degree in applied Practice (Social Practice).
