Deputy Brian Stanley
asked the
Minister for Children and Youth Affairs
her plans for the development of a youth homelessness strategy as part of the overall strategy for ending homelessness here.
[24108/11]
Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (Deputy Frances Fitzgerald):
Youth Homelessness has been identified as a priority for 2011. My Department met with the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and service providers at the end of May, to assess and review the current demand for services, the progress made to date under the Youth Homelessness Strategy 2001 and the need to address any outstanding service deficits. Work will commence shortly on a high level review of the 2001 strategy. This review will form the basis for the development of a framework to address youth homelessness over the next 5 years.
