Threshold Prevents 130 Clare Households from Entering Homelessness

Threshold says it helped prevent 130 households in Clare from entering homelessness between July and September.

The housing charity has highlighted an upward trend in demand for support, with the number of households seeking assistance in the county rising to 188 in the third quarter.

Almost 70 per cent of those households were deemed to be at risk of a rent increase or tenancy termination.

The organisation is continuing to call on the government to pass and implement the Short-Term Letting and Tourism Bill, in a bid to bring more properties into the long-term rental market.

Threshold CEO John-Mark McCafferty says the impact of short-term lets on the availability of long-term housing is evident in Clare.
