Skye Constantine brings over 20 years of experience in homelessness, social housing, and housing justice work.

They are a founding member of the Lived Experience Led Homelessness Alliance and a sessional trainer for the Community Housing Industry Association Victoria. They are currently completing a PhD exploring how lived/living experiences, participatory practices, and transformational democratic knowledges could lead to better outcomes in the homelessness services sector.

Skye’s approach to training, supervision, and service development is to start with the wisdom of lived/living experiences and to encourage reflective practices that consider personal/shared values, others’ experiences, the available evidence, and conventional/traditional knowledges. Skye brings a wealth of knowledge, gained through professional/personal experiences and formal education, as well as a collaborative, purpose-driven approach and practical problem solving skills.

Their background experiences in the field include project management, training development, community development, research and evaluation, service design, policy development, grants and reporting, operations management, and front line services including case management, tenancy management, and street outreach. These experiences have been scaffolded by training in occupational therapy, psychology, social science, education, and management, and enriched through explorations of mindfulness, self compassion, trauma informed care, and other reflective practices.

Skye has worked with lived/living experience led groups, community services, activist groups, peak bodies, and public/community housing providers in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and South Australia. They are passionate about social and housing justice, and ready to support you with all of your homelessness, social housing, housing justice, and social justice practice needs.
