Oireachtas Report Slams Homelessness Response
Description
A damning new Oireachtas report blasts the government’s handling of homelessness, calling for urgent reforms including fairer social housing rates, a centralized appeals system, and better support for those exiting homelessness. With emergency accommodation hitting record highs — 17,000 people, including nearly 6,000 children — the committee urges standardized housing plans and earlier intervention for direct provision. Housing Minister James Browne admits the crisis will persist, but says HAP limits are under review. The report also pushes for a 2030 goal to end homelessness, demanding immediate, concrete action.
