“Many of those accessing homeless services have complex needs and require other supports, notably health supports, to assist them to exit our homeless services. Housing First is best international practice for getting people out of homelessness and that is why earlier this year I appointed a National Director for Housing First and increased its allocation. I want to thank Bob Jordan for the excellent work he has done so far this year. He’s delivering results and pilot programmes are also now being progressed in other parts of the country, including Cork, Limerick and Galway.”
