John, 45<br />
I was on the streets after separating from my wife. I was sleeping rough here and<br />
there, anywhere I could get my head down. Then I was referred to the <strong>Focus</strong> <strong>Ireland</strong><br />
transitional housing programme in George’s Hill. It’s brilliant here. There are rules, of<br />
course, I abide by them and they help you as much as they can. I learn the skills I<br />
need for living alone: cooking, decorating and so on. Staff also work to support me to<br />
overcome any problems I have and make me feel better when I am struggling to<br />
cope. I hope to be able to move to independent living soon. The Tenancy Support and<br />
Settlement Team will work with me after I move to make sure that I’ll settle in to my<br />
new home and my new community.<br />
