Conference in Cork to focus on regional homelessness crisis

The rising problem of regional homelessness will be the focus of a major one-day conference in Cork today.

Details of two new projects which are helping to prevent homelessness in Cork and Limerick will also be outlined at the event, organised by University College Cork’s School of Applied Social Studies.

Academics and experts from England and Denmark, as well as key figures working in homelessness agencies here, are among those due to address the policy conference on homelessness and housing exclusion.
