It has been almost four and a half years since Covid-19 emerged and changed everyday life for people in New Zealand. The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in an unprecedented health response, which included lockdowns, social distancing measures and restrictions on the everyday lives of New Zealanders. Focusing on New Zealand, this thesis explores housing, homelessness and mental health during the Covid-19 pandemic. I aimed to provide a snapshot of the experiences of people who lived in emergency housing or were otherwise homeless during the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally, I wanted to understand the experiences of those housing case workers who supported the homeless during the Covid-19 pandemic. I undertook a qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews with five participants. Some themes that emerged from these interviews included challenges in access to services, healthcare and information concerning Covid-19. The concept of autonomy in the context of public health policies also emerged, and the impacts of social isolation and feelings of powerlessness as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions were explored. Analysis of the participants’ experiences revealed underlying neoliberal narratives and internalised delegitimization. The participants demonstrated a variety of coping strategies, including familial connections, positive fatalism and humour, that were used to navigate their lives and the challenging Covid-19 pandemic. This study emphasises the importance of understanding the lived experiences of individuals facing homelessness, particularly during unprecedented events such as the Covid-19 pandemic, in order to produce equitable policy change that considers the diverse needs and challenges of vulnerable populations.
