Ending Homelessness is still a realistic goal in Ireland - MakeRoom contribution to party manifestos
January 05, 2011
MakeRoom urges all political parties to commit in their political manifestos for the upcoming election to the implementation of the National Homeless Strategy and its six stragic goals, including preventing homelessness, eliminating the need to sleep rough, meeting long term housing need, ensuring effective services for people who are homeless and better coordinated funded arrangements.
One of the biggest barriers for implementing the strategy has been the lack of move on options, with the appropriate support, for people who are homeless. Many people are forced to stay in emergency homeless accommodation for longer than necessary which is expensive for the state and is unsuitable for meeting people's needs.
