    Actually, I suspect overt homelessness has dropped slightly in the last 2-3 years, as something is eventually being done about it.

    However, the deciding factor on the availability of housing is down to the long underinvestment in housing (and social services) in the 1985-2000 period and the subsequent move of 20-somethings into rented accommodation, squeezing out those at the bottom of the ladder.

    How about letting asylum seeker work in the construction industry? Let them contribute to solving the problem.

    Oh, and compare your €35m to the €45,000m the government is spending next year.
