Recent figures from the Department of Housing reveal alarming rates of homelessness, with 4,675 children and 10,743 adults reported without stable housing. The data indicates an 11% rise in emergency accommodation usage since March 2024, with families and young adults significantly impacted. Experts stress the necessity of immediate governmental action, highlighting the critical shortage in private rentals as a core issue. Calls for preventative measures aim to halt further homelessness escalation, emphasizing the economic and ethical importance of prioritizing housing solutions.
If we're serious about ending homelessness by 2030, we need to start treating it like the crisis it is. Housing and homelessness must become a top priority for Government.
It is critical that the Government starts to show evidence that they have a strong response to the homelessness crisis.
