Our new straight upfront, no nonsense publication The Gript. “Homeless Elderly: a new norm and a new low for Ireland”. Comment: Absolutely agree.

Why it’s so hard to end homelessness in America. Source: The Harvard Gazette. Comment: Time for Ireland and especially our politicians, in this election year and taking note of the 100,000+ thousand immigrants to land on our shore, we must Piggy back. There are many pitfalls to homelessness like poverty, absence of dual diagnosis, drug/alcohol addiction, veterans, drop-outs, and so many more especially when the policy was de-institutionalise those diagnosed with mental illness. Ireland: as we encounter problems with McVerry Trust who have successfully for decades improved the lives, similar to the narrative here, must be supported now, in their financial difficulties. We must learn from the research of others otherwise we will have more encampments than those seen presently at the canal, the Phoenix Park and now Lower Baggot Street. We need stop this now; piggy back on international research and create a system for those prone to homelessness to ensure they live (the reduced age of survival is a stark reminder of what poverty and homelessness can do to human beings) and can achieve supported lifestyles as provided by McVerry Trust and other AHB’s. Clarky Stephen Clarke who died recently opposite the Church in Dublin 2 was only 40 years old. Too young to die.

Skimping on homeless services “doesn’t work”. The State is about to pay more for them. Source: The Currency which I highly recommend. I cannot but say that the McVerry Trust crisis cannot be swept under the carpet; they may have financial difficulties which can and must be identified, but more important is the fact that the homeless people do not suffer. The idea of providing homes through Housing First has tackled what the Government are lacking in ie a moral compass. Politicians need to understand the content below and even join together to ensure McVerry Trust can continue doing what they are best at … and that is helping homeless people. It is worth noting Finland is the first country to prevent homelessness so why not share notes and work to end homelessness in Ireland once and for all.
