The Digital Literacy Project was developed in January 2024 teaching basic English literacy development to improve digital inclusion for those at risk of drug related harm in the homeless population.
Without such basic reading and writing skills, digital inclusion and digital literacy is not possible for a large part of the homeless population. Improving both basic literacy and digital skills for this group has been widely acknowledged to build confidence, improve employability, provide the skills necessary to be able to interact in work and personal life, and the ability to access services and remain connected to their network of support. These benefits all play a key role in supporting harm reduction.
