I/v with Shari Nevalagi: June 29, 2018

Shari Nevalagi created the organisation Rise Up for Homelessness. She's a solo mother of two children, both with autism, and has autism herself. She spends time volunteering with homeless Whānau and neurodiverse Whānau in Tāmaki Makaurau, and is currently working in Manurewa helping to provide rough sleepers with food and support. 

Lillian Hanly spoke with Shari following the news that Mayor Phil Goff has announced a 'homelessness count', and talked with her about her concerns.
