I am dealing with the issue in the context of homelessness and of the reduction in the rent allowance and in the context that the Department of Social Protection has a direct influence in this regard. This is the reason I raised the issue. The Minister should be aware of the situation, because we cannot tackle the issue of homelessness in a silo. It must be dealt with in a holistic manner and across Departments. The Minister needs to know what is going on in other Departments in regard to this.
