Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Impact of Homelessness on Children: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Mary Hurley:

They are in the process of being implemented. Some of them are complete while others are more ongoing and long term. For instance, there is a national director of Housing First in place. There are protocols in place for our work with the Department of Justice and Equality on youth offenders. We have a range of supports and have brought forward a range of services with the Department of Children and Youth Affairs. Capital assistance scheme, CAS, funding is now provided to support youth homelessness services.
