Empirical Research

 

There is a critical need to enhance societal awareness of homelessness, along with a better understanding of the challenges at both micro and macro levels within government policy frameworks. Empirical research is essential as it provides a vital foundation for our service development and advocacy efforts.

Since 2020, we started collaborating with various universities, social service organisations, and research institutes to conduct field surveys and academic studies. This ongoing research aims to identify gaps in services and inform best practices for meeting the diverse needs of the homeless population.
