Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Interim Report on Homelessness: Discussion

Ms Mary Hayes:

Someone asked me earlier about Housing First targets. We exceeded them. We split housing first between two groups. We take people who are long-term homeless, particularly if they are long-term homeless purely because they have complex needs and are not able to access accommodation on that basis. Apart from the rough sleeper population we are also targeting long-term homeless people within single emergency accommodation to move out into Housing First.
