Homelessness is a problem on the Island and in the run-up to Christmas, things are getting worse.
That's according to Joanna Chapman, project manager at Kemmyrk the Manx homeless charity based in Douglas.
The charity has helped 55 people find accommodation in November and December and has handled 700 cases since May 2009.
Joanna says many people are unaware of the Island's problem, but she says there are real issues for a significant number of people without a permanent roof over their heads:
Drop-in session offers support for households ahead of rising winter costs
Support service says finances will be stretched for some over the coming months
Number of bus services 'at risk' today
No reason given by Bus Vannin
Check in advance which polling stations are accessible
Voters can now use any in their constituency
