Graih encouraged to apply for lottery funding
The Cabinet Office is currently ‘considering the results’ of a year-long pilot homeless shelter on the Isle of Man, according to the policy and reform minister.
In his speech about the 2020 budget, Chris Thomas referenced the figures released by the organising charity, Graih, that 59 individuals required more than 500 bed nights across a 12-month period.
Mr Thomas encouraged Graih to apply for funding from the Manx Lottery Trust:
