The number of destitute children continues to escalate and 'we are becoming inured to a moral and social catastrophe'. Photograph: Frank Millerwere classified as homeless, a figure many recognised as lowballing the reality, as it related to the number of children whose parents contacted an emergency number on a specific date and failed to access a shelter. In France, which has a population of 68 million, 29,780 children are living precariously in hotels.
These children made homeless have no voice in public life. Their number could now fill Dublin’s Olympia Theatre 3½ times over.): rickets, faltering growth, scabies, anaemia and extreme tooth decay. Holland reported that the Dublin Region Homeless Executive is saying more families are spending longer in homelessness, with 26 per cent of them in emergency accommodation for two years or longer.
Social homelessness might refer to issues outside of the housing “market” that render people unhoused, which tend to relate to addiction, severe mental health problems, turbulent family circumstances, and also the acute needs of specific demographics such as refugees and asylum seekers.
