'I never thought I'd have a home': Tribute paid to Cork Simon as it helps record numbers out of homelessness

'I wonder to myself, if I hadn’t moved here, where would I be? I’d still be on the streets'

Tammy Twomey is a long-term resident at Cork Simon's high-support houses.

The cost-of-living and the housing crises will push more people towards homelessness this winter, the head of Cork Simon has warned.

The charity’s CEO, Dermot Kavanagh, spoke out as new figures show that the charity helped a record number of people out of homelessness last year, as the number of people recorded as sleeping rough reduced by 45% to six per night.
