Winter is Coming: A Housing Justice Podcast - Ep 24: Tiny Homes, Relationships + Restorative Justice with Jay Straus

“Tiny Homes, Relationships + Restorative Justice”

This week we’re joined by Jay Straus the Transitional Housing Lead at the Working Centre and Site Lead for the Tiny Home Shelter on Erb’s Road, Waterloo. Jay shares his own personal experiences of being homeless, and how he came to the be with The Working Centre. He also shares how ‘The Cabins’ transitions 20% of their residents to more permanent housing, and how they navigate conflict with neighbours and what restorative justice means in the context of the community.
