Social housing report ‘targets most vulnerable’

A NEW report on how the Government should fund social housing ignores tenants and their needs, and targets the most vulnerable, it has been claimed.

It has also been criticised for containing no hard numbers or concepts and no plans for delivering more housing.

Due to be launched at the Irish Council of Social Housing (ICSH) biennial conference today, the Government-commissioned Grant Thornton report reviews how the state funds the voluntary sector and makes recommendations on how this could be improved.
