It's arrived. I've been tracking this in US, Ireland + UK. Investors are (again) snatching up single-family homes + converting to $$ rental accommodation. It's the Blackstone model post '08. Govt must step-in. @TOAdamVaughan @HonAhmedHussen @RomyBowers

Considering #ChristianErikson incident must be noted how important defibrillators within community are. At @ICHHDUBLIN our vehicles are kitted with state of the art defibrillators, a community defibrillator available at 67 Amiens St. Our team trained in usage by @LifelineIreland 3

After two, long dry days, we are back in business with a working shower. Available for those sleeping out. No appointment necessary. Our shower was part of a Covid response, installed in April 2020 and in daily use ever since. Day services are essential services #homelessness

My report in today's @businessposthq on further lack of action on the vacant homes issue.

Local authorities have only hired three full-time vacant home officers since 2018, despite every council receiving €50k yearly to pay for staff in the role
