K Road Chronicles is a look at homelessness from the inside. Six – once homeless herself for several years, now a journalist – is our guide to the colourful, diverse, harsh and often tragic world of street people living on and around Auckland’s Karangahape Road. Nicola is an Outreach worker at Auckland City Mission, an organisation which helps Aucklanders in desperate need. She works at the coalface of homelessness, venturing onto the streets to engage with the city’s most vulnerable people, almost all of whom have slipped through society’s cracks.
