The housing crisis is pushing people into homelessness and preventing people from leaving homelessness behind. Our Emergency Shelter is overflowing. People are staying longer because they have no other options. Rents in Cork continue to rise while supply remains at an all-time low; Rent Supplement & Housing Assistance Payments fall well-short of current market rents. See the figures behind the crisis in our regularly updated Homeless Watch.
2021 was a milestone year for us as we marked our 50th anniversary; 50 years of believing in people; believing that everyone who calls Cork home should have a home. During 2021 we offered care and support, dignity and hope to 1,027 people.
