Shelby Thompson: Housing Crisis, Shelter and Resource Navigation

We're chatting with the Truro Housing Outreach Society with Shelby Thompson!
As soon as you start chatting with Shelby, you can tell she has a firing passion for equitable housing for all. Shelby is a Housing Support Worker at the Truro Housing Outreach Society, and has been recently been publicly recognized for her commitment and actions of advocacy as a receipting of a  ‘Truro Famous’ award (Huge congrats, Shelby!!!). Shelby talks with us about what Truro Housing Outreach Society is, how she got involved, how others can get involved, what her role as a housing support worker entails, what is in store for the future of Hub House (their last resort shelter) and what she is noticing in our small home town of Truro.   Truro Housing Outreach Society is a crucial service for our community, which we are so so so grateful to have. Providing shelter and resource navigation services, they are a core support for locals and those passing through.
