Housing Matters contacted by more than 500 people
A charity that works with those facing housing problems says there's been an increase in poverty on the Isle of Man over the last year.
Housing Matters was contacted by more than 500 people in 2020 - nearly 200 of whom had no fixed abode.
More than a quarter listed poverty as the reason for contacting the organisation.
Manager Julie Marshall says the coronavirus pandemic was only a factor in a small proportion of cases:
Isle of Man inflation eases slightly to 2.8% in October
Rising restaurant, food and tobacco prices continue to drive inflation, while energy costs help offset increases
