In the second of four interviews hosted at the OneTeamGov Global event in London, we talk to the Director for the Centre for Homelessness Impact; Ligia Teixeira. With the recent publication of a new rough sleeping strategy, we learn how data and evidence can make the UK government’s vision to eradicate homelessness by 2027 a reality.
We chat to Ligia about her background in academia at the London School of Economics, and hear how her conversations with homeless people in London inspired her to volunteer, and then work, for the charity Crisis. Ligia explains how the 50 year anniversary of the homeless sector prompted the creation of a new organisation, with a mission to promote and support evidence-based interventions.
Ligia also shares examples of how we can all practice effective altruism, gives us tips on using our 80,000 hours of work for good, and inspires us towards self improvement through constant reflection and learning.
