Figures included in this report are based on numbers accessing Dublin Simon Community’s services in 2015. At this time there are over 2,900 adults and 2,000 children in emergency accommodation in the Dublin region alone, some long term. Almost 1,000 families are currently facing homelessness, many accessing hotel rooms with no areas to cook or clean, and often just a bed to share. Still more than 100 people are sleeping on our city’s pavements and in parks. There are no places for these people to move onto and meanwhile the trauma and stress will have a dramatic and everlasting impact on their lives.
