Some causes include poverty, unemployment, lack of suitable supportservices, lack of social and affordable housing, family conflict, mental health difficulties,leaving institutional care and domestic violence among others.Being out of home can significantly impact on a person’s well-being. The effects ofhomelessness include uncertainty, low self-esteem, poor nutrition, poor physical and mentalhealth.Facts and figures• Between 5,000 snd 6,000 people are out of home in Ireland.• 43,684 people are on Local Authority waiting lists [Source: Housing Needs Assessment 2005]• Almost 1,000 Traveller families still live on the roadside in appalling conditions withoutaccess to water, sanitation and electricity. Many other Travellers live in officialaccommodation that is poorly serviced and maintained and often situated in unhealthy ordangerous locations.
