Focus Ireland

Focus Ireland works with people who are homeless or are at risk of loosing their homes across Ireland. It is a time of significant demand for homeless and housing services. There are almost 10,000 people homeless across Ireland today, 1 in 3 are children. 

We are driven by the fundamental belief that homelessness is wrong.

Wrong because it is a failure of society that creates victims out of ordinary people and robs them of their potential. Wrong because it can be prevented, it can be solved but is allowed to continue and in doing so, undermines society.

We need to challenge our society to think and act differently. We are committed to challenging everything about homelessness; the causes, systemic failures, people’s perceptions and how it is tackled.

And we challenge ourselves in how we allocate resources to maximise our ability to prevent people from falling into homelessness and to help people find and keep a home.

Homelessness is wrong and we have to make that felt in every thing we do and say.
