Element of ministerial strategy to be flexibility allowing applications for social housing placements in shared accommodation
The strategy will be launched after the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday. It is aimed at people aged 18-24. Some 17 per cent of people entering into emergency accommodation were in this age cohort according to monthly homelessness reports. It is the first youth homelessness strategy in 20 years and will also seek to identify those particularly at risk, including people leaving care and the Traveller community.
Cabinet will also approve the establishment of a €500 million loan scheme for small and medium enterprises, developed by Mr Varadkar and Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue. The report states that 90 per cent of actions in the plan are completed or are ongoing, including reform of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board and establishment of the Insurance Fraud Co-ordination Office. The Cabinet is also set to consider the annual report from the Department of Education and a spending report from the Department of Further and Higher Education.
