QUESTION NO. 17

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive for details of the current Housing/Homeless lists in each Electoral area and will he present an updated report? 

REPLY:

The table below provides a summary of the most recent data held regarding households registered as homeless with the Council - such applications are not categorised by area given that they are in emergency and temporary accommodation.

Homeless Households
Single Male	228
Single Female	58
Couples	15
Families	152
Total	453

Families in homeless services continue to be supported in seeking Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) tenancies including through the enhanced HAP support.  In addition, the provision of emergency accommodation and other supports are ongoing in collaboration with the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive.

The Council continues to increase housing supply with our social housing build, acquisition and leasing programmes including through Part V delivery and collaboration with Approved Housing Bodies.  Additional housing options are also provided through the RAS and HAP schemes.

We operate an outreach service and multi-agency approach to address rough sleepers across the County.  The Outreach worker works closely with the HSE in particular in identifying rough sleepers and sourcing appropriate accommodation and support services. The needs of rough sleepers are often very complex and challenging and require a comprehensive and coordinated approach.
