Welcome to The Streets of Dublin Simon
The podcast that takes you straight to the frontline of Dublin’s homelessness crisis.
Get to know different members of our community and learn about the triumphs, trials and tribulations of closing the door on homelessness for good.
Our first episode is now available on select streaming platforms
The two episodes of season 1 will look at different aspects of the devastating and growing phenomenon of elderly homelessness. Ep 1 speaks with Orla Dwyer from our Tenancy Information and Support Service team and looks at the growing number of elderly people who are facing eviction.
For the first time, we are seeing a swathe of older people coming to our door who are on the brink of homelessness due to long-term landlords leaving the market. These people are especially vulnerable as many do not have access to the internet, are on small pensions or have physical and mental health needs.
