Homeless deaths can be reduced through risk analysis, committee told

In 2020, 79 homeless people died across the state.

Risk analysis must be carried out to tackle further deaths in homelessness, an Oireachtas Committee has heard.

The Housing Committee was discussing the Interim Report on Mortality in the Single Homeless Population 2020, by Dr Austin O'Carroll who called on all agencies involved with the homeless population to work together in order to learn from deaths among the homeless.
