Public Health is initiating research for public perceptions on homelessness as part of the government’s Homelessness Strategy.
A survey is open for members of the public to express their views on key aspects of homelessness, including its definition, causes, and support.
The survey also asks for personal experiences of homelessness.
Homelessness Perceptions
Results will form part of a needs assessment report which, alongside research into the impact of homelessness on health and wellbeing, will highlight gaps and opportunities for action.
The needs assessment will also consider ‘at risk’ groups and factors which influence an individual’s chance of experiencing homelessness in their lifetime.
- The survey can be completed by anyone aged 16 or over and can be accessed online at gov.im/homelessnesssurvey
- Paper copies are available from the Southern and Western Wellbeing Partnerships and from Douglas and Ramsey libraries.
- It should take no longer than 15-20 minutes to complete all the questions.
- The survey closes on Monday, January 27
Information on support is available for people who are experiencing homelessness, or at risk of experiencing homelessness.
