Ukrainian Caregivers Face Housing Crisis | Dublin News

A Dublin day centre for older people is on the brink of collapse as Ukrainian staff—key to its daily operations—are forced to leave state housing at Citywest by September 18th, under a government policy phasing out accommodation for Ukrainians. Seven of the center’s thirteen staff are Ukrainian, and without them, services may drop from five to just two or three days a week. Staff, many of whom arrived with nothing and now deeply integrated into Irish life, face crushing uncertainty as they scramble to find affordable housing. Their stories—from a carer supporting her son with special needs to a gardener who found purpose in Ireland—reveal the human cost of this policy. While the government offers limited state housing in other counties, approval hinges on applicants’ self-reported needs, leaving many caught in limbo.
