The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has released its latest report, showing that the number of men, women, and children experiencing homelessness reached 14,966 in October. This represents an increase of 206 people compared to the previous month. 4,645 of these are children. Tony Geoghegan, Interim Executive Director of the Simon Communities of Ireland, said: “Regardless of the outcome of the current election, and the composition of the new Government, our ask remains the same. The new Government must commit to end homelessness and the need to sleep rough by 2030. This will require an all of Government approach that encompasses increased investment in public and social housing, homeless prevention, and health and social care supports for those experiencing homelessness.” Press Release: https://lnkd.in/e4E6Bbdg
