The Departments of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and Community 
Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs are inviting applications from organisations whose primary
function is supporting people who are homeless. Up to €1.5 million in total of once
off revenue funding is available.

The funding is part of the allocation from the Dormant Accounts Fund and will be
administered by Pobal. ‘Supports for homeless people’ is a specific measure under
the Social & Economic Disadvantage Category of the 2008 round of Dormant Accounts
funding.

This is a targeted and specific measure which is heavily informed by the recent 
government strategy document, ‘The Way Home: A strategy to address adult homelessness
in Ireland 2008-2013’. Pobal is advising organisations to attend an information 
session at the Clarion Hotel, Dublin Airport on Wednesday 22nd October. For registration
people should phone Marian on (01) 5117209 or email mc******@***al.ie.
