Focus Ireland

Focus Ireland Challenging homelessness. Changing lives. Learn how you can help at - linktr.ee/focusireland Focus Ireland was founded by Sr. Stanislaus Kennedy. Sr.

Stan was involved in a research project into the lives of homeless women in Dublin, when she realised the importance of involving people, who are, or have been directly affected by homelessness, in the development of homelessness services. In 1985, two years after the initial research Focus Point (now Focus Ireland) opened its doors in Eustace Street, Dublin. The organisation provided streetwork s

ervices to young people, advice, advocacy, information and help with finding a home as well as a warm welcoming place to meet and have a low-cost meal. Since its foundation Focus Ireland has continued to grow and its research and advocacy work ensures that the rights of people who are homeless remain on the political agenda. In addition to its Dublin projects, it now has services and housing projects across Ireland including in Waterford, Kilkenny, Cork, Sligo and Limerick.

In 2010, “there was about 2,010 people on the homeless register nationwide,” remembers Mark Slee, Project Worker in Sligo.

Now, 17,548 people are recorded as homeless in Ireland, according to last April’s figures shared by the Department of Housing.

Men’s Health Week ⭐️

This Men’s Health Week, we’re shining a light on the importance of mental wellbeing 💙

Mental health challenges can affect anyone, and too many men still feel pressure to stay silent. By encouraging honest conversations and breaking down stigma, we can help create a culture where asking for support is seen for what it truly is: a sign of strength.

Check in with the men in your life, listen without judgment, and remind them they don’t have to face things alone 🫂

An evening of gratitude and reflection ❤️

The Focus Ireland community recently gathered at our annual Evening of Remembrance, to honour the inspiring people who have helped shape Focus Ireland.

The Evening was a moment to pause and cherish the memory of people who remembered Focus Ireland with a gift in their Will, our visionary founder Sr Stan, and the beloved customers and staff who are no longer with us, but forever in our hearts.

Their kindness and compassion remain the foundation of Focus Ireland’s mission to help end homelessness for good.

A gentle light was brought to the evening by the beautiful voices of the children’s choral group, Loving Life Choir, helping to celebrate the lasting legacies that continue to live on within the walls of every service.

Behind every number is a person 💛

17,548 people were recorded as homeless in Ireland in April 2026.

That includes 5,604 children.

These are not just figures. They are children trying to do homework without a home of their own. Parents trying to keep family life together in emergency accommodation. People doing everything they can to get back on their feet.

Focus Ireland is working every day to prevent homelessness and support people who are already experiencing it.

Your support helps us keep going.
