## Resource

New research from Ireland reveals homelessness is far more widespread than street sleeping suggests, with over 8,500 adults in Dublin alone experiencing housing insecurity in 2025 — a 11% jump from the prior year. Cork saw an even steeper rise, with nearly 700 new cases. The ETHOS Light study, led by Focus Ireland and Trinity College Dublin, also uncovered over 1,200 Dubliners in temporary or insecure housing — a category still under study but critical to understanding the full scope. While Dublin and Cork rank high in overall homelessness compared to European peers, a smaller share of those affected are sleeping rough. Notably, both cities have a surprisingly low percentage of homeless seniors over 65, and non-Irish citizens make up an average share. The takeaway? To truly tackle homelessness, policymakers must look beyond visible cases and address the full spectrum of housing insecurity — because ignoring the hidden crisis only deepens the problem.
