A homeless charity is calling for a referendum on the right to housing.
Simon Communities Ireland, says although the Government has made efforts to address homelessness, it's not enough.
The current situation requires long-term solutions that guarantee everyone the right to a home.
Executive Director of Simon, Wayne Stanley, says now is the right time for a vote on housing:
"It's in the Programme for Government that this government will provide a referendum on housing. We've heard from both the Taoiseach, in previous conversations, and the Minister for Housing, that that is going to be a Right to Housing. That was the project that was given to the Housing Commission. They've now reported. We need to see that wording as quickly as possible and we now need to progress to a referendum".
