Chapter 7: Social Media Utilizing social media and communication that can be accessed from a smartphone is more useful than you think for working with those experiencing homelessness. Many homeless use their phones as their lifeline, using free Wi-Fi internet at cafes and restaurants to access family and friends, look for resources and as a social outlet. It is important to acknowledge and utilize social media as a regular contact point for many of those experiencing homelessness. Know the local agencies in your area that use social media.
