What they think of the blueprint..

SEAN MOYNIHAN, INSET, ALONE CEO:

- 

“We are concerned that the commitment to deliver 12,000 new social homes every year over the lifetime of the Plan does not go far enough, given the level of demand among older people and across the population. We welcome commitments to a new action plan on housing for older people, but we need this to translate into homes that are genuinely accessible, adaptable, and provide the safety and security that people want and deserve.”

CATHERINE KENNY, INSET, CEO OF DUBLIN SIMON COMMUNITY:

“Dublin Simon welcomes the increased ambition in social and affordable housing output targets. We have engaged with the Department of Housing on changes to policy and tangible actions required to address long-term homelessness and blockages in housing supply. From our perspective, given the nature of support we provide in frontline homeless services, a holistic homeless implementation plan must now be developed arising from the publication today.”
