Motion in the names of Ard-Mhéara Hazel Chu & Cllr Alison Gilliland Cllr Janet Horner, Cllr. James Geoghegan, Cllr Daithi Doolin, Cllr Tina MacVeigh and Cllr Kevin Donoghue The Housing SPC recognises the progressive work carried out by the Lord Mayor's Taskforce on Homeless and the recommendations it has presented. To build on the work of the Taskforce, the Housing SPC recommends that a Special Committee on Homeless be established as a sub-committee of the Housing SPC to · support and provide information, views, advice or reports to the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive (DRHE) in relation to homelessness and the operation and implementation of the Homeless Action Plan in Dublin and specifically to Dublin City. · study, analyse, and make recommendations to any DRAFT Homelessness action Plan prepared by the DRHE. · serve as a forum for consultation and sharing of information and data from the DRHE · review progress on the Homeless Action Plan and support the DRHE in addressing any barriers to implementation of the plan, whilst having regard to the statutory obligations of the DRHE and its statutory management group. · work with the DRHE in pursuing actions where necessary from relevant Government departments and in pursuing a whole of Government approval to the often complex needs of homeless persons. · engage regularly with the various other statutory and non-statutory bodies that are involved in different aspects of homelessness in Dublin. · invite the Approved Bodies to present and take questions at meetings of this special committee · develop strong working relationships with Councillors and the Executives of the other three Dublin Local Authorities. The Housing SPC agrees that this sub-committee should consist of the Lord Mayor, the Chairperson of the Housing SPC and a representative from each political party/grouping, that management of the DRHE including the Director and other senior staff will report into this special committee and will attend all meetings, that meetings be held in camera unless otherwise agreed by the Committee and that the Committee report to the Housing SPC on a bi-monthly basis.
