Charity says emergency accommodation is lacking
Emergency accommodation for people who are homeless is urgently needed on the Isle of Man.
That's the view of the charity Housing Matters which works to prevent, reduce and manage homelessness on the Island.
In October 2020, the Manx Government asked for expressions of interest from organisations capable of delivering short term emergency housing as part of a Manx Housing First Support Service.
Julie Marshall is the manager of Housing Matters and says progress on it has been slow:
