The Dublin, Ireland City Council has voted to erect up to 400 modular homes for the growing family homeless population following a plan rejected by the councillors to renovate 64 vacant apartments in O’Devaney Gardens
The Dublin Joint Homelessness Consultative Forum (DJHCF) adopted a plan to “develop and propose a modular housing typology that can develop and rapidly construct quality housing units to required standards.” The goal is to have it completed by the end of the year, according to irishtimes.
In September, 2014, as MHProNews has learned, there were 156 families with 341 children in emergency hotel accommodations. The most recent figures indicate that number has grown to 442 families with 970 children, a 183 percent increase in nine months. ##
