Dublin's housing shortage - Families despair at rising rents | DW Documentary

Ireland is facing a short-fall of hundreds of thousands of homes, especially in Dublin. As rents rise, so does homelessness. With no house or apartment, Jordyn, Jonathan and their young daughter Delilah have to find a new place to sleep every night. The young family has been searching for permanent accommodation in Ireland's capital for ten months. Their everyday life involves appointments with the local authorities and endless hours spent on hold on the telephone.
