KEYWORDS: homelessness, mobile phones, internet
Mobile phones are an essential technology for people experiencing homelessness. Yet while most have mobile phones, and many have smart phones, this doesn't mean they are able to make and receive calls or access online services reliably.
This study aimed to find out how people experiencing homelessness are accessing and using mobile phones and the Internet. Key questions were whether and how mobiles and other Internet-enabled devices are used to connect with support, government and other online services, and what are the social and economic benefits and risks that mobile technologies represent for this diverse group.
