provided practical responses in the area of homelessness.
Originally Dublin based, Focus Ireland now has projects in
both Limerick and Waterford.
MISSION: Focus Ireland aims to advance the rights of
people out-of-home to live in a place they call home
through quality services, research and advocacy.
VISION: Focus Ireland believes that everyone has the
right to a place they can call home.
Values
Focus Ireland’s models of service
provision are dictated by the needs
of our customers. We believe the
quality of service delivery is as
important as the kind of services we
provide. There are eight primary
values that underpin our models of
service delivery, both to our staff and
our customers:
- respect
- safety
- accessibility
- empowerment
- stewardship
- quality
- partnership
- integration
Objectives
Focus Ireland’s objectives are to:
- respond to the needs of people
out-of-home and those at risk of
becoming homeless, through a
range of appropriate high
quality services
- provide emergency, transitional
and long-term accommodation
- campaign and lobby for the rights
of people-out-of home and the
prevention of homelessness
