Just one in 10 Dublin homeless housed in ‘15

Just one in 10 homeless people in Dublin got the chance to move out of emergency accommodation and into a home last year, it has emerged.

“People have become trapped in the revolving door of homelessness,” said Sam McGuinness, chief executive of the Dublin Simon Community.

“If we look at our emergency services for 2015, there was only a one in ten chance of moving out of emergency accommodation into a home.”
