Audit of Homeless Services
An audit of homeless services in Dublin took place in Spring 2009. This was carried out to determine both the capacity and standard of accommodation in use across the sector. The audit included building quality, suitability and adaptability for use. This audit concentrated mainly on the buildings owned by voluntary and statutory service providers. Dublin City Council also carried out a separate audit that focused on private emergency accommodation (B&B) in the four Dublin local authority areas.
The specific purpose of the audit is to facilitate the reconfiguration of current homeless provision into a homeless and housing pathway model to provision to meet the 2010 Vision. Homeless service provision and emergency accommodation will be reconfigured into more appropriate built environs that can become places of change and homes for people experiencing homelessness.
The table below highlights the general location of building stock across Dublin. The sites reviewed were distributed across the four Dublin local authority areas. The majority of these buildings are located within the boundaries of Dublin City Council’s five functional areas.
