Cork City Council is to source specialised accommodation for households which are homeless, or at risk of becoming so, for a period of 18 months to help support them into long-term accommodation.

The planned nine units, due to open in April, will be aimed at households “who may not for a variety of reasons be able to maintain a tenancy” either in private rentals or in housing provide by the council or charities.
