Simulata Pope: Youth Homelessness - Kids in Care and the Justice System

In this episode we speak with Simulata Pope a fierce advocate and activist who work for VOYCE Whakarongo Mai, an organization that provides support and advocacy for children and young people within the care system. We discuss how the Care and Justice system are acting as a pipe-line into homelessness for young people, and explore what can change (at both a system, policy and community level) to address this.
