Homelessness Survey

Dan Leaf



Question 1

My first question I asked on my survey was ‘what

is your opinion on homelessness?’

I didn’t get very good answers that would help

me in any way, as you can see, they are mostly

something along the lines of ‘dunno’.

This in some ways shows that the generation I am

from don’t really think about it too much, it isn’tseen as a problem in their life.



Question 2

For question 2 on my survey, I asked the

question ‘is there enough help for homeless

teenagers?’. Then I gave them the option of

choosing yes or no.

71.43% of people chose yes, there is enough

help for homeless teenagers, and the rest

chose no.I also gave people who chose yes to tell me

what kind of help is given to homeless

teenagers, but once again, they just said ‘I

don’t know’.



Question 3

For question 3, I asked the question ‘Is

there any positives to been homeless?’

I gave them a choice of ‘yes’ or ‘no’, and

whatever they answered, they had to give

me a reason for it. I didn’t really get manysensible answers for this, but I did find out

that 71.43% thought that there was

something positive about being homeless,

and 28.57% thought there wasn’t.



Question 4

For question four, I asked the question

‘have you ever heard about SASH?’

For this question, I got 25% yes and 75%

no, which in SASH’s case, is a problem,

because this shows that the majority of

people have never heard of them.

This means that there is not a huge

amount of teens that know about it, so

there will no doubt be homeless teens out

there not knowing where to go on a night.



Question 5

For question five, I asked the question ‘would

you allow a homeless person stay at your

house?’

Once again, 75% of people said no, and 25%

of people said yes.This shows, that a lot of people with a free

room in their house wouldn’t even give it up

to a homeless person for a few nights, which

is a negative thing because you can’t provide

for a homeless person if there is no house to

put them in.



Question 6

For question 6. I asked the question ‘would

you help a homeless a person?’

62.5% of people said yes, and 37.5% said

they wouldn’t.

This is unusual, because in the last question Iasked if they would allow a homeless person

stay at their house, and the majority said

they wouldn’t allow that. That would be

seen as helping a homeless person, but

obviously people just think that helping a

homeless person is giving them a few copper

coins, rather than giving them a bed to sleep

in.



Question 7

For question seven, I asked the question

‘would you help a homeless person if you

knew them?’

75% of people said yes, and 25% of people

said no.

This is a positive, because at least people

will help people they know if they are in

need.



Question 8

For question eight, I asked the question ‘where

would you go if you were homeless?’ I then

made it an open answer, so they could

comment whatever they wanted.

I got a mix of answers ranging for sensible

ones like ‘Arc Light’, to not so sensible ones like‘just kill myself’ of ‘home’.

This shows that a lot of the people who did my

survey weren’t at a very mature level.



Question 9

For question nine, I asked the question ‘where

are you from?’

I then made it an open answered comment

question, so they could comment whatever they

wanted, just like question eight.

The majority of the answers were sensible, andsaid ‘York’ but then there were other ones that

answered my question with another question

saying ‘Where are you from?’



Question 10

For my last question, asked the question ‘how old

are you?’

To prevent people commenting stupid things, I

narrowed it down to tick boxes ranging from ‘16-

24’ and then one more just saying ‘other’ because

they are not relevant.

Considering a lot of the previous answers I had

received were pretty immature, the majority of

them were 18.
