Depaul Ireland is a fresh and dynamic charity which offers people who have experienced homelessness an opportunity to move towards a more independent and positive future.

Depaul Ireland is making a progressive response to homelessness. Guided by the principles of low-threshold and harm reduction, our approach is tailored toward flexiblity and tolerance. We welcome the most vulnerable in the community into our services where our trained professional staff and volunteers meet them where they are at and provide a proven and innovative programme of support.

We manage 12 specialised services between Dublin, Belfast and most recently in Dungannon, providing 303 bed spaces per night for homeless people.
