Mr. Jonathan Shinnors:

In collaboration with our local authority in Limerick, we have secured accommodation, whether three- or four-bedroom houses, in order to facilitate exit out of our emergency accommodation, where we have a predominantly older cohort. We have a cohort that are in employment. The Clann Nua model has been explored and we are currently adopting it. It involves a long lead-in time and intensive case management to identify and support individuals that could manage living in shared accommodation. That has proven quite successful. We have high levels of retention and continued employment of those living in the units. The individuals engage in their communities with assistance from our community activation programme, which seeks out meaningful pastimes, further education and other activities to sustain residents in their accommodation.
