Report reflecting past six months published recently
The Housing and Communities Board has spent the past six months focussing on providing better emergency accommodation.
That's from the chair of the board, who says there are now clear pathways in place for those who need them.
A recent progress report revealed that more than £62,000 was spent providing emergency accommodation for homeless people in a year.
That equated to 63 individuals and two families between February last year and June this year.
David Ashford told Manx Radio he hopes the board can develop better support for people who find themselves in the same situation:
