Reports Show a 14% Rise In Homeless Figures

Urgent call to increase social housing

It's after the latest figures show a record 14,159 homeless people in May, a rise of 14 per cent on a year ago.

Spokesperson Conor Culkin says long-term homeless people need to be the first to get into new social homes.
