自2017年以来,由于高租金、低养老金和住房短缺,爱尔兰老年人的无家可归情况急剧上升。 Homelessness among Irish seniors surged since 2017 due to high rents, low pensions, and housing shortages.

爱尔兰西蒙社区的一份新报告显示,自2017年以来,老年人无家可归现象急剧上升,65岁及65岁以上老年人在都柏林增加了165%,在西部增加了500%。 A new report by the Simon Communities of Ireland reveals a sharp rise in homelessness among older adults, with those aged 65 and over increasing 165% in Dublin and 500% in the west since 2017. 房租飞涨、养老金低、缺乏对老年人友好的住房,以及难以获得由住房行动计划支助的租金是关键驱动因素。 Soaring rents, low pensions, lack of age-friendly housing, and difficulty securing HAP-supported rentals are key drivers. 该报告将由Catherine Connolly总统发起,呼吁加强全国领导、更好地执行住房法、增加资金和老年人生活经验所塑造的政策。 The report, to be launched by President Catherine Connolly, calls for stronger national leadership, better enforcement of housing laws, increased funding, and policies shaped by older people’s lived experience. 它警告说,如果不采取紧急行动,危机就会恶化,对健康和福祉产生影响。 It warns that without urgent action, the crisis could worsen, impacting health and well-being.
