Is technology of benefit to homeless individuals?

Joly GhanawiResearch database

The following brief literature review explores the benefits of technology to homeless people. Technology (e.g. books, magazines, mobile phones, computers) have been found to benefit the homeless by providing information for health-related issues; services provision; allocating free food, venues and shelters; and communicating with friends and family. Further research is needed on the benefits of technology in Scotland. Tackling the root causes of homelessness is the ideal solution to the problem.
