Simon Communities warns single adults are overlooked in housing policy

The Simon Communities of Ireland has warned that single adults are being overlooked in housing policy despite being the primary demographic in emergency accommodation.

According to the charity, single adults represent the dominant demographic currently residing in emergency accommodation. Despite this, the organisation states that housing policy and homelessness responses have largely overlooked this group.

The warning highlights ongoing challenges regarding how accommodation needs and housing delivery are structured for single-person households in Ireland.
