Simon Community: Govt policy on homelessness 'has already failed'
The Simon Community says the Government's promise to end homelessness by the end of 2016 has already failed.
The charity is launching a new campaign today urging the coalition to make homelessness a priority.
It says only 17% of those on the social housing waiting list around the country will be filled this year.
Earlier this month Focus Ireland said there are up to 5,000 people in need of a home across Ireland each night.
