🚨 Homelessness has hit a record high — over 15,000 people are now without a home. The Government says “nothing is off the table” when it comes to tackling this crisis. So why did Minister Browne cut funding to the Tenant in Situ scheme? 🤔 This scheme lets local authorities or the Housing Agency buy homes where tenants are at risk of eviction because their landlord is selling up — keeping families, single people, and children from becoming homeless. It works. It’s proven. And it’s now underfund

Today's alarming increase in homelessness figures from the Department of Housing are particularly troubling in the context of our ageing population. The number of people aged 65 in emergency accommodation rose by 14% to 227 in October since Jan 2024 (197) - a situation no older person should find themselves in.

Homelessness hits a grim record high of 15,286 people, including 4,603 children. We cannot forget that these are not just numbers, these are real people who are forced into prolonged homelessness as a result of FF/FG failed housing policies. As official homelessness figures hit this shameful record, FF/FG roll back on their commitment to end homelessness by 2030 - they have thrown in the towel. We need a radical reset in housing policy. | Sinn Féin Ireland

Housing in Ireland is no longer a crisis, it's a disaster. Record numbers of homelessness, a lack of affordable homes being built and even if you're lucky enough to secure rental accommodation, you're likely to be paying almost three quarters of your monthly income on it. The solution is state-backed investment, not private developers. We need the government to step in and invest in social and affordable homes before this disaster gets any worse. | Labour Party
