Directory of services for homeless people (Clare Homelessness Alliance)

The Clare Homelessness Alliance (CHA) was set up in January, 2012. The membership of the CHA comprises representatives from the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, the Health Service Executive (HSE), the Department of Social Protection, Clarecare, An Garda Síochána, Mid-West Simon Community, Clare Probation Services, Clare Haven Services, Kilrush and Ennis Town Councils and Clare County Council. Meetings of the CHA are chaired by Councillor Patricia McCarthy, who also chairs the Housing, Social and Cultural Strategic Policy Committee of Clare County Council.

The CHA provides a forum for the sharing of information and development of awareness of issues and services impacting on the homeless. It also promotes best practice in service delivery and provides essential links between service providers.

This Directory is published by the CHA. It sets out information in relation to services and supports available to homeless persons, including necessary contact details.
