Home is more than just a roof over our heads; it’s where we should feel safe, a place to enjoy family and where children feel loved and secure when they’re tucked up in their beds. Yet, for some, this dream is fragile, threatened by circumstances beyond their control.
This Easter 1,423 families with 3,083 children are in emergency accommodation in Dublin. The capital is facing a shocking new record of 10,000 people living in emergency accommodation. Hundreds of people who are desperately searching for somewhere to live.
The people and families we help often describe the feeling of absolute fear and helplessness they experience when they receive a notice to quit or find themselves with nowhere to go.
You can be a part of their story. We need to make sure families do not become homeless. Please donate what you can today so Dublin Simon can prevent this family from becoming another number in emergency accommodation.
Advocacy
Education
€300 can help support our education and employability services – giving people an opportunity to get back on their feet and increasing their chances of sustaining a permanent home.
Housing
€500 allows Dublin Simon to continue making home a reality for vulnerable adults and children in a range of ways from counselling to a warm bed in uncertain times to a permanent place to call home in our independent housing services.
Tenancy Information and Support Team (TISS) The team is often involved in actions such as: If you, or someone you know, might need the help of the Tenancy Information & Sustainment Team please call them on (01) 635 4888 during office hours, additionally it receives referrals from local authorities and social workers who have identified a family or person who needs support.
Dublin Simon works to prevent people from entering homelessness in the first place, saving people from what will be in some cases a lifetime of trauma and uncertainty. Our team talks to each person and family to find out how we can help to make sure they don’t lose their home.
