The tutorial was extremely helpful in broadening my understanding of homelessness. It provided valuable insights into the various factors that contribute to homelessness, such as economic challenges, mental health issues, and systemic barriers. Additionally, it highlighted the range of resources and support systems available to assist individuals experiencing homelessness, which I found particularly informative and practical.
