Homelessness, Ageing and Dying 51 15. Undertake additional exploratory research on the health and wellbeing of people who are homeless This research has focused exclusively on the experiences of older Simon Service users. It would be useful if similar research could be done amongst people who are homeless at a national level. 4.7 Summary of the Recommendations. This report has been compiled at a time of deep national recession which has precipitated a series of tough budgets and heralded the introduction of significant cuts in public spending. The current economic and financial situation means that there will almost certainly be further cuts in funding and makes it unlikely that any additional capital funding for the housing/homeless sector will be available in the short to medium term. This report ‘recognising these constraints’ has identified a series of relatively modest recommendations some of which have a small cost and others of which ‘while they would require some modest investment’ would ultimately result in cost savings to the exchequer. See Table 4.1 for details.
