Expansion of Housing First services is key to easing homeless crisis

THE housing and homeless crisis in Cork continues to escalate, but the response to the crisis is improving.
The scale of the deepening crisis in Cork is reflected in the number of people knocking on our door. Last month, our outreach team supported an average of almost 17 people per night sleeping rough in Cork — the highest monthly average in almost two years, and a 58% increase in 12 months.
