The Home Truths Panel: "For the future I don't know if I'll be in Ireland"

Our Home Truths panel have been exploring the potential life-changing impacts of the ongoing housing crisis. One theme that looms large in every aspect of their discussion is the theme of emigration.
"Stuck at home in their twenties", "lack of freedom", "can't afford the rent", are just some of the frustrations. Sophie Johnston summarises our Home Truths panel thoughts on emigration as a consequence of the housing crisis - should we stay or should we go.

The Home Truths Panel: "Trying to carve out a life for yourself" amidst a housing crisis

On the back of our March 2024 Home Truths paper, 'Single Adults Living with their Parents', we formed a Home Truths Panel to capture a sense of how the growing phenomenon of young adults having to live at home is affecting their outlook. Sophie Johnston summarises some of the experiences and concerns of the panel participants. She highlights the four options they identified that are facing their generation in the current housing crisis.

Sponsor a Room

As a Room Sponsor you will be helping to save lives. You give a monthly gift, at an amount you can afford, to provide someone who is homeless with a safe room of their own, everything that goes with that, and a pathway to move into independent living. Believing in people.
Emergency shelter

Our Emergency Shelter on Anderson’s Quay, in the heart of Cork’s city centre, provides round-the-clock temporary accommodation and one-to one support. Our emergency shelter supports men and women over 18 years of age.

778 men, women and children were depending on emergency accommodation in Cork and Kerry in June 2024.

Our Emergency Shelter is overflowing. People are staying longer because they have no other options.

Rents in Cork continue to rise while supply remains at an all-time low; Rent Supplement & Housing Assistance Payments fall well-short of current market rents.
