Homeward Trust focuses a lot on data and numbers. I will confess that a lot of our focus is on those in our community who wouldn't even qualify for the CERB at this point, because it did require pre-employment, etc.
Having said that, one of our experiences during the pandemic heightens the fact that we don't know what we don't know. The inflow into homelessness, with so many people are experiencing poverty for the first time, is a result of the circumstances that are directly related to poverty and a lack of income.
It is that need for an income, and to pre-empt an experience where ultimately homelessness erodes so many other aspects of health and mental health for individuals. Those are some of the areas we are acutely aware of. Those pressures are far higher than we estimated in terms of the vulnerability of people who, because of a lack of income, are so on the verge of an experience of homelessness.
