About us
Depaul is a charity supporting people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness We exist to serve individuals and families who are at risk or caught in the spiral of homelessness, deprived of all control of their lives, when every door is closed to them. Depaul is here because they deserve help to rebuild their lives and progress to a positive future. We approach this; With compassion and a willingness to do whatever it takes no matter what. With expertise and professionalism so the most excluded homeless people get the help they deserve and are not overlooked or ignored. And we don’t stop there, we innovate when services are needed. We advocate for hard to reach groups and are willing to take risks to make sure the services exist for those experiencing homelessness. We want to end homelessness and change lives. Depaul is a cross border organisation operating 40 specialised services in 5 main areas of service provision; - Health & Rehabilitation - High Support Accommodation - Families & Young People - Prevention - Housing Depaul shares close links with the SVP as one of our founding partners but we are a separate charity addressing homelessness.

Family Art Day 😊 Special thanks to everyone who helped with our recent fantastic Family Art Day which we hosted for the families of our service users. The day was jam packed with artwork, LEGO, video games, VR headsets, and baby sensory sessions. Rounded off with a hot lunch and a movie with popcorn and treats. Great fun was had by all! Special thanks to the exceptional staff at Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council Lexicon Library and the Dublin Bus (Bus Átha Cliath) Community Spirit Bus for their invaluable support.

It's a great day when one of our service users moves out of homelessness and into a place they can call home. After 15 years without stable housing, Glen has finally found peace in his new South Dublin apartment, thanks to the dedicated efforts of Depaul Ireland's Case Management Team, Dublin City Council, and South Dublin County Council staff. While we celebrate Glen's success, our work is far from over. Over the next three years, Depaul aims to move 3,500 more people like Glen out of homelessness. We need your help to make this happen. Today, over 14,000 people in Ireland face homelessness. With your support, we can help more individuals like Glen find stability and build better lives. Together, let’s end homelessness in Ireland.
