The Minister referred to €196 million being spent on emergency accommodation and expanding Housing First. That is almost €4 million a week primarily spent on emergency accommodation. How much of that figure will be spent on prevention? How much is on expanding Housing First? The national strategy on Housing First identified 1,346 people with high support needs and it is planned to meet only half of those. Is there funding in the Estimates figure to meet the supports of all with high support needs?
