MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, June 27, 2022

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne

"What supports are put in place for individuals in Tallaght who are coming from homeless accommodation/streets and who have complex issues when being offered a property by the Council or Voluntary Housing Body? Are supports continued throughout the length of tenancy or until a time that an individual can live independently?"

REPLY:

The Council is committed to the Housing First Implementation Plan 2022-2026.  Housing First is a housing-led approach that enables people with a history of rough sleeping or long-term use of emergency accommodation, and with complex needs, to obtain permanent secure accommodation, with the provision of intensive supports to help them to maintain their tenancies.  Supports are offered to clients as long as they are needed and can be reintroduced if required.
