According to the 2022 annual report of The Salvation Army, a homeless charity and church in Ireland, more than 150 additional beds were provided at one of its family hubs last year, reports Breaking News.
The organization helped a total of 173 homeless families across three of its six residential facilities in Dublin.
Due to the high demand for services, the adult and child bed capacity at its largest family hub, Houben House in Harold’s Cross, increased by 67% from 232 in January to 388 by September, rbn
The organization also served over 75,000 meals at its three family hubs, including Clonard Road in Crumlin and Greencastle in Coolock.
“As Houben House is only three years old, one of the biggest challenges we faced in 2022 was the rapid expansion of our service,” said the charity’s divisional commander in Ireland, Colonel Neil Webb, reports Breaking News.
