Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Rosemarie Tobin:

We have our five-year implementation plan and we will be working to make this up in the remainder of the plan.

A question was asked about the additional €50 million which the Minister announced in recent weeks. This is €50 million for acquisition funding, which has been ring-fenced specifically for families who have been the longest in homelessness and for housing first tenancies. There is a recognition that it is difficult for local authorities to secure sufficient one-bed units for housing first. We wanted to make this additional funding available for it.
