Homelessness can happen to anyone. A sudden loss of a rental property, a relationship or family breakdown, or a change in circumstances can leave people with nowhere stable to turn. Many find themselves rough sleeping, while others rely on friends or relatives and end up sofa surfing – often feeling invisible and unsupported.

The Housing Executive is responsible for providing accommodation for anyone who is legally homeless, and we take referrals for our accommodation services through the Housing Executive. If the Housing Executive has no duty to provide you with temporary housing (has not awarded you with FDA), they may ask you to contact us directly. This is called a self-referral. We receive many requests, and space is limited, so we may not always be able to offer a bed. Even if we cannot provide accommodation, we will talk through your options and offer advice and guidance where we can.
