There are currently 1,660 young people aged 18-24 in homelessness, residing in emergency homeless accommodation across Ireland.
Alongside @FocusIreland, we’re calling for the urgent change required to end youth homelessness.

In case you missed it, on the eve of the Bank Holiday, the latest homelessness figures were published:
📈1,510 homeless people aged 18-24, up 20% on last year's figure. These concerning figures highlight the lack of progress made.

Having partnered with CLM to provide free legal advice clinics for children in care + young care leavers, it is fantastic to see further investment in this area + in CLM. Wonderful to know the team will be busy upholding the legal rights of even more children + young people!
We are grateful to receive funding from the #RTEToyShowAppeal to research the unmet legal need of children and young people in Ireland. Part of this funding will support a new free legal advice clinic for children and young people If you have a legal query, ☎️ us on 01 847 7804

It was great to have William McNamara, @tusla National Lead for Aftercare present to some of the EPIC team this morning. As William said "a lot done, more to do!." EPIC will continue to work with Tusla and other partners to support young care-leavers in Aftercare Services.

Early school-leavers are over-represented in the Irish homeless population. We're working to grow the amount of funds we can spend on prevention and investing in educational supports is a key part of that work. Great article from @Jessjcasey in @irishexaminer today:
