The Peter McVerry Trust will unveil a new social housing development for rough sleepers in Dublin today.

The charity has built eight apartments at New Street South in Dublin 8.

The organisation has also published its annual report, which shows it helped 418 people exit homelessness in 2018.

It worked with 5,841 people in emergency accommodation, providing over 5,500 of those with shelter or housing.

The trust says it grew its housing stock by 40 per cent last year but it still needs to boost housing this year.

The organisation says it expects to top its target of 450 housing units by the end of 2020.
