An international perspective on Irish homelessness policy: Blog for Focus Ireland and Simon Communities of Ireland

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

In 2020, with the new Government keen to move on with its new ‘Housing For All’ strategy, a number of organisations working with people who are homeless on a daily basis decided it was time to take stock of the lessons from Rebuilding Ireland and the homeless strategies that had preceded it. The group, comprising Focus Ireland, Simon Communities of Ireland, Society of St. Vincent De Paul, Mercy Law Centre, COPE Galway and the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice, commissioned international experts on homeless strategies to undertake the review. The resulting report, ‘From Rebuilding Ireland to Housing for All: international and Irish lessons for tackling homelessness’ was launched in September this year, receiving widespread positive coverage. Here we asked the lead researcher, Professor Nicholas Pleace of York University, to write a guest blog, setting out the main conclusions from the project.
