Professor Lisa Wood on the Project

Did you catch Notre Dame Uni's Professor Lisa Wood on The Project? In this important piece, Lisa discusses the long-term health impacts of homelessness.

"You can't separate health, housing and homelessness. Until people are housed, it's really hard to fully stabilise their health and address their underlying health issues."

Thanks to The Project for shining a light on this challenging issue and also to Joey King for sharing her story with us.
