Latest homeless figures for Kilkenny revealed

There were 39 people recorded as being homeless in Kilkenny during the last full week of July, according to the latest Homeless Report from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

This figure remains unchanged from the previous report (39) and places Kilkenny as the fourth-highest county for individual homelessness in the South-East, behind Waterford (73), Tipperary (56) and Wexford (47).

Only Carlow (35) recorded fewer cases in the region.

The Department report defines homeless persons as being ‘accommodated in emergency accommodation funded and overseen by housing authorities’.
