No child should have to worry about where they are going to sleep at night.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe first heard reports of children sleeping in Garda Stations in May 2017 and nothing has changed 14 months later. It is clear that the current policy has failed. The Government must ramp up the delivery of social housing, and end the long-term use of emergency accommodation for children and families\u201d<\/em> he continued.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"\/news-media\/news\/svp-pre-budget-submission-2019.aspx\">SVP\u2019s Pre-Budget Submission<\/a>, they also called on Government to increase the vacant site and vacant property levies to address issues of speculation and hoarding.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe need a compassionate and empathetic response to the crisis. Unhelpful narratives that seek to blame people for their circumstances can\u2019t be used to distract from the root cause of the crisis \u2013 an overreliance on the private sector to meet housing need. Children\u2019s well-being can no longer be collateral damage to a dysfunctional housing system\u201d<\/em>, said Kieran Stafford.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The detrimental impact of homelessness on children and families can no longer be ignored, says SVP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7570,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"Tribe__Tickets_Plus__Commerce__WooCommerce__Main","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","cat-region-national","publication-category-social-justice","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 -
