Advances are being made in the battle against homelessness

THE Homeless Agency wishes to express its sympathy to the families, friends and service providers who were close to the three people who died recently in Dublin and who were engaged with homeless services.

However, we also wish to provide a clearer picture on homelessness and the responses to it in the eastern region.

A number of recent interviews and articles have presented an inaccurate picture of homelessness and rough sleeping in Dublin.
