Directors Message

Welcome to the Homeless Agency website, we hope this will provide a helpful resource to you to find information on the services and responses that are available for people who are experiencing homelessness in Dublin.

We are actively engaged in a broad range of programmes and activities, all focused on realising our Vision, which is by 2010, long-term homelessness and the need for people to sleep rough will be eliminated in Dublin.

To this end, the Homeless Agency work under the guidance of A key to the door, Homeless Agency Partnership Action Plan on Homelessness in Dublin 2007-2010 examine key priorities each year, which reflect our commitment to coordinating and planning quality services to people who are experiencing homelessness in the Dublin area.

Developing workable solutions and systems for people who are experiencing homelessness in Dublin requires developing the capacity for change in individuals, communities and organisations. It is our collective belief that with the ongoing support and commitment from voluntary and statutory homeless services, it is possible to ensure that people who access services can be supported into appropriate and sustainable accommodation and independence.

I invite you to take a few moments to peruse this website. Our site provides a comprehensive information forum on; how to access homeless services in Dublin, the rights of people who are homeless, causes of homelessness, Care and Case Management Strategy, Learning and Performance Programme for homeless service staff and an overview on Homeless Agency action plans rom 2001-2010. Elsewhere on the website you will find useful tools including direct links to Cornerstone journal and Update newsletter, a news section that highlights current activity across homeless services, a research and publications section and much more.

We will continue to expand and improve this website, if you have any comments or questions please email homeless@dublincity.ie.

Best regards,

Cathal Morgan
Director
