€25m set aside to address Dublin homelessness crisis
€25m is to be spent on addressing the homelessness crisis in Dublin.
260 additional emergency beds will be provided for people sleeping rough as part of a 20-point Action Plan announced by the Government today.
A cafe will be opened as a contact point for homeless people who do not want to stay in the emergency accommodation being provided.
The plan includes the purchase of a NAMA controlled hotel to provide accommodation and the opening of an assessment centre for homeless families.
