Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Ivan Grimes:

Emergency accommodation currently has about 60 individuals and just under 20 families are in emergency accommodation. They are not in hostels. We have a concept of own front door for family emergency accommodation in Waterford and, by and large, families will be housed in houses with their own front doors rather than in typical emergency accommodation.
