Grace strongly advocates that at the heart of social justice is secure, well-suited, and affordable access to housing for all without prejudice.
Access to respectful and caring community is a significant asset of the community housing sector, and with Grace’s work in community engagement in the arts, Grace hopes their experience and perspectives on this area will bring strength to the sector.
Grace is excited to bring their lived experience to the board and is passionate about being involved in advocating for the future and growth of the housing co- operative sector.
