Thirty-six single people and 14 families are currently living in emergency accommodation in county Tipperary due to becoming homeless, according to latest figures from Tipperary County Council.
The Council’s October Management Report outlines that Own Front Door emergency housing units are accommodating six of these single people and five of the families.
A further 16 single people and nine families, who are homeless, are residing in emergency B&B accommodation while 14 single people are living in “transitional” housing.
The report also details that there were 399 homeless presentations to Tipperary County Council in the nine months up to September 30.
This was higher than normal as Tipperary County Council’s Director of Housing Services Sinead Carr told the council’s October meeting that the average number of homeless presentations the council receives in a year is about 400.
She pointed out the number of homeless people the council deals with goes up and down.
The council recently managed to bring the number of families in emergency accommodation down to zero. There were now 14 families in this accommodation but Ms Carr stressed the council has a “pathway” to a securing a home for most of them.
