Homelessness crisis now an ‘emergency’
Homelessness is set to reach record levels, with one charity warning it helped as many people in the first six months of this year as in all of 2012.
More than 11,500 people who were homeless or at imminent risk of losing their homes turned to Focus Ireland last year, compared to 10,000 in 2013 and 8,000 in 2012.
