FOCUS IRELAND COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Focus Ireland Company Limited By Guarantee is a national charity dedicated to ending homelessness and giving families, children and young people a safe place to call home. Founded by Sr Stanislaus Kennedy after her research into the needs of women experiencing homelessness in Dublin, the organisation now works across the Republic of Ireland, delivering the Housing First model, emergency-accommodation support and long-term housing solutions.

Key services include a 24-hour Advice and Information team, specialised child-support workers, Youth and After-care programmes for people aged 18-23, and a robust Housing First delivery network that has helped over 1,100 households avoid homelessness and contributed to the construction of 635 homes since 2021. Focus Ireland also runs a popular podcast hosted by Clare McKenna and offers a range of employment opportunities within its housing teams.

Through fundraising, community partnerships and a strong volunteer base, the charity turns donations into immediate crisis assistance and lasting change, ensuring that children like Jack and Emma can look forward to a secure, hopeful future.
