MidWest Simon’s services are said to be under severe strain as the number of people entering homelessness continues to rise.
Latest figures from the Department of Housing show that there are now 176 homeless children in this region – that’s more than double the figure a year ago.
There are 72 homeless adults in Clare alone, among 379 in the MidWest, which itself is among close to 10,000 nationally.
The Minister for Housing has come under fresh fire for his housing policy today as the situation continues to spiral out of control.
Housing Support Team Leader with MidWest Simon Tracey Reddy has been telling Clare FM’s James Mulhall that they’re doing their best to offset the impact but it’s not easy:
Those in need are encouraged to contact MidWest Simon’s Ennis or Kilrush offices or their Limerick number on 061 608980.
