Threshold stops 1,166 households from being evicted in just three months

The charity has urged the Government to take action to keep landlords in the sector, in particular smaller landlords who provide most rental homes in Ireland.

Housing charity Threshold has said its advisers intervened to prevent 1,166 households from being forced into homelessness in the first quarter of 2022 alone. 

It said in total 1,582 adults and 1,002 children were able to stay in their homes or were supported to secure alternative housing.
