4:06Now PlayingAs a former teacher, school principal and state manager at a large IT company, Scott Butler never imagined himself homeless. But that was the reality for the 56-year-old after a medical diagnosis and a relationship breakdown. A lack of affordable rental properties combined with being on a disability pension, made finding a property seem like an impossible task. Scott is also a member of the LGBTIQ+ community, which is over-represented in homelessness statistics. Since his own lived experience, Scott has become an advocate for more affordable housing. His advice to people is ‘Don’t ever think ‘I’m safe, it’s not going to happen to me.” #HW2020
