Housing charity helping 75% more evicted people since 2019

Threshold warns there will be an increased number of people living in hidden homelessness, sleeping on couches, on floors, in cars or rough sleeping.

The number of tenants being supported after receiving eviction notices each month by the housing charity Threshold has risen by 75% since 2019.

In an opening statement at Tuesday’s sitting of the Joint Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Threshold representatives will highlight that the charity has supported an average of 462 private renters per month this year who have been evicted — up from 263 per month in 2019.
