SOPHIA HOUSING ASSOCIATION COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Sophia Housing Association Company Limited By Guarantee is a charitable housing provider that delivers safe, stable homes to people with complex support needs across Ireland. In the past five years the organisation has grown its reach by 126 %, now owning or managing 365 homes and supporting more than 1 145 individuals, including 241 families and 576 children.

Sophia's core service is the provision of long-term, ten-year tenancies combined with personalised support for adults facing addiction (28 %) or mental-health challenges (34 %). This holistic approach has produced a remarkable 99 % housing-stability rate, meaning only one per cent of those assisted in 2021 returned to homelessness - far above the national average for Housing First programmes. Based in Dublin, Sophia continues to expand its impact, helping vulnerable people move from crisis to lasting security.
