Simon Community: Budget 2007 'a failed opportunity'
The Simon Community has tonight labelled Budget 2007 as a failed opportunity to end homelessness in Ireland.
Today's budget was a failed opportunity to meet the Government commitment of ending homelessness by 2010 according to the Simon Communities of Ireland. Despite the Government's own acknowledgement that prevention and long term housing solutions are key to ending homelessness there was no action on social housing in today's budget.
