Homeless charity says housing crisis should not be ‘accepted as normal’
* 2,834 families with 5,331 children were supported by the Simon Communities across their services in 2018.
* 2,812 people accessed specialist treatment and support services which included healthcare, counselling and community alcohol detoxification. * 827 people accessed education, training and employment services provided directly by the Simon Communities. National spokesperson for the organisation Wayne Stanley said charities were “experiencing very welcome decline in family and child homelessness in Dublin”. But he said this was due to collaboration between NGOs, local authorities and Government departments throughout the year, rather than a reduction in demand for homes.
He said figures showed while there was a drop in homelessness of about 23 families in Dublin in October, this represented about 1 per cent, and likely reflected better co-ordination among providers, rather then less demand.“Over 10,500 men, women and children will now enter the new year in that situation.
