The Power of Pets: Narrative Stories of Companion Homeless Pets and Their Role in Harm Reduction
A primary focus of The Space at Tompkins is to work with individuals from the transient homeless community, and many of these individuals keep pets while they are on the streets or in transitional housing. These pets serve many roles for their owners including: companionship, a reason to control drug use, and sometimes financial planning. The Space's goal is to integrate these special animals into our harm reduction strategies.
Andréa Stella is the Executive Director of The Space at Tompkins and holds a Master's in Public Health from Hunter College. Ms. Stella has worked within the New York City harm reduction community for over five years, and her primary focus is syringe access for transient homeless individuals
