Some of them are working and earn salaries, however, the income is not sufficient to live modestly. Purpose \u2013 The purpose of this research is to establish a desired support system to eradicate urban homelessness in the country. Design\/methodology\/approach \u2013 This is an exploratory descriptive method study which employed quantitative techniques.\u00a0 The study employed a social ecological model to investigate behavior of homeless via multiple levels of influences including intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, community and public policy. Surveys have been conducted on sixty-five homeless individuals.\u00a0 Findings \u2013 It was found that support systems and structures should be derived from the whole streams from families, communities, organizations and government. Employment opportunities, long-term shelters within the community places and highly demanded skills are needed to improve their living condition. Research limitations \u2013 This study is only focused on the socio-economic structures of the homeless in a capital city. Originality\/value \u2013 This is an empirical research using a social ecological model for the homeless in the Kuala Lumpur area. Research on homeless study has received little attention and has yet to be fully explored.<\/ns4:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.73536.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,16]],"date-time":"2024-09-16T12:20:14Z","timestamp":1726489214000},"page":"41","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Desired support system to eradicate urban homelessness: an exploratory descriptive study"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6001-172X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Noor Ashikin","family":"Mohd Rom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3098-682X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nurbani","family":"Md.
