Who to contact if you are homeless
If you are homeless, rough sleeping or at risk of homelessness, you need to contact the Local Authority Assessment and Placement Service, by calling into the office directly in 160 Capel Street, Dublin 1 or by telephoning the Homeless Helpline on 1800 707 707. The service will organise temporary accommodation for you, if you have nowhere else to stay and will assign you a Housing Officer, who will work with you to put in place more long-term accommodation options.
The function of The Homeless Persons’ Unit has changed. However, it will still continue to provide payments under the Supplementary Welfare Allowance Scheme and offer advice on your social welfare entitlements by calling to the office directly on 41 Castle Street, Dublin 2 (women and families) or 212-213 Oisin House Pearse Street, Dublin 2 (men) by calling 1800 724 724. It will not place you in temporary accommodation.
