QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"To ask that the Chief Executive issues a report update on a proposed Hostel for the Clondalkin area that the elected Clondalkin Area Councillors have supported in several motions since 2014 given another recent homeless death in the area and to update this Committee on what has been done to progress this since 2014 in terms of a suitable location and funding application?"

REPLY:

The Council in partnership with the Dublin Region Homeless Executive have looked at properties to convert or sites to develop for use as emergency accommodation for homeless single persons across the County.  The Council, in collaboration with the Dublin Region Homeless Executive, is progressing the development of a small family hub in the Clondalkin area, however, to date, no suitable premises has been identified for singles.  

Once a suitable location has been identified the Council will proceed to identify funding streams.
