Thank you for supporting the Focus Ireland Right to a Home Campaign. Focus Ireland continues its work to prevent people becoming, remaining or returning to homelessness through the provision of quality services, supported housing, research and advocacy.

In October 2006 Focus Ireland jointly launched a new alliance of Irish NGO's called MakeRoom which aims to help Ireland make global history by becoming one of the first nations to end homelessness. The MakeRoom Campaign - which is being spearheaded by Focus Ireland, the Simon Communities of Ireland, the Society of St Vincent de Paul and Threshold - said that with strong political leadership, a responsive policy agenda and adequate resources, homelessness could be ended.

The target of 2010 for ending rough sleeping and long-term homelessness has been set by the Government, and will be highlighted throughout this campaign.

By ending homelessness, MakeRoom want to arrive at a situation where nobody will sleep rough; nobody will stay in emergency accommodation for longer than is absolutely necessary and nobody will become homeless because of a lack of appropriate services.
