Recent data shows a month-on-month decrease in individuals seeking accommodation, marking a small drop of 335 persons in December 2024. The total figure for those in need is approximately 14,864, which includes families, children, and single adults. Notably, the number of families presenting as homeless has increased year-on-year by 8.4%. Concerns were raised by housing advocates about the sustained high numbers of those without stable homes, urging governmental action despite the seasonal dip in figures around Christmas.
"While we welcome the slight decrease in the number of people in emergency accommodation around the country, we are still unable to accept the injustice of almost 15,000 without a place to call home."
"A partial decrease does not take away from the fact that there are thousands without the comfort of a home."
