Homeless Accommodation
Dail Éireann — 2022-09-28
============================================================

Eoin Ó Broin (SF), Dublin Mid-West

The latest homelessness figures for the Department show the highest-ever levels of adults, children and pensioners in Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage-funded emergency accommodation. That is only a portion of the total number of people who are in State- or non-State-funded emergency accommodation. All of the homeless service providers in local authorities and in the voluntary sector that the Minister and I talk to are telling us that those numbers are set to increase. Does the Minister have any plans to put in place any new or innovative measures to try to stop the rise and also to reduce the length of time those adults, children and pensioners are spending in emergency accommodation?
