Integrated services needed to prevent homelessness crisis worsening - report

A report launched in Cork has found that integrated services such as rapid re-housing ‘Housing First’ services and physical and mental health supports are needed to prevent the homelessness crisis from getting worse.

The findings, released by the Simon Communities, further found there is a need for greater investment in social and affordable housing, and that lessons can be learned from other countries in developing effective homelessness prevention.
