The organisation has called for homeless people to be prioritised for new social housing, as happened during the Covid-19 pandemic
Al Leahy, a Focus Ireland housing tenant at the launch of the organisation's annual report this week Focus Ireland provided help and assistance to 18,000 people who were homeless or at risk of homelessness last year. It was an increase of 2,000 people on the previous year. It is no small feat but in truth the charity is running hard just to stand still.
And the situation is deteriorating with the number of homeless adults passing 10,000 for the first time last month. When children are included,has called for homeless people to be prioritised for new social housing. A similar strategy under which a portion of new social housing was dedicated for housing long-term homeless families worked successfully during the Covid-19 pandemic, he said.
