Abstract

Homelessness has long been acknowledged as a global issue affecting the poorest individuals in both developed and developing countries. This study seeks to examine the factors that influence the wellbeing of homeless people, focusing on quality of life, knowledge and skills, as well as the moderating role of government support. This study employs structural equation modelling (SEM) in SmartPLS to examine the interconnections among Quality of Life, Knowledge and Skills, Government Support, and the Wellbeing of those experiencing homelessness. The hypothesized paths relationship between Quality of Life, Knowledge and Skills, and the Wellbeing of the Homeless are found to be statistically significant. The provision of government support has a crucial role in mitigating the impact of knowledge and skills on the overall wellbeing of individuals experiencing homelessness, as evidenced by statistically significant findings. The findings indicate that those experiencing homelessness face significant challenges in achieving and maintaining quality of life and acquiring the necessary information and skills to enhance their overall wellbeing. The government's provision of support and assistance is crucial, particularly in facilitating the acquisition of necessary information and skills to provide a satisfactory standard of living. Homeless people require the acquisition of knowledge and skills that would render them employable.
