Minister Kelly announces 20 actions on homelessness Our local TD Alan Kelly, has announced details of the Government’s 20-point Action Plan to tackle emergency and short term homelessness. Minister Kelly said: “I made a commitment that every homeless person in Dublin who needs a bed or emergency accommodation will have one before Christmas but, if they choose otherwise, the new Nite Café will be available to them. This Plan delivers on that commitment. It also puts in place medium term and longer term measures in response to issues highlighted by the special Forum on Homelessness we convened last week. For example, we must also cater for families with children whose urgent need is for emergency accommodation and for people who are currently in private rented homes but are in danger of becoming homeless. “Our long term ambition is that by the end of 2016 we will end the scourge of involuntary long term homelessness, in accordance with the Government’s Implementation Plan in Response to Homelessness.” Read more here: labour.ie/press/2014/12/09/minister-kelly-announces-20-actions-on-homelessnes/
