Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Update on Homelessness: Discussion

Ms Louise Bayliss:

We know that the families we support get a referral for a child support worker and then there is a waiting list. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that all the children will get that child support worker. We find that when people get a home, they are though off as being off the list and no longer in need of a child support worker, but it is often then that problems really emerge and that when they are settled and feel that safety, they let in a flood of emotions. That it is not just people in emergency accommodation. We find our support to live independently, SLI, workers who help families to move on from emergency accommodation-----
