As much information as possible is included about each project to enable users of the Directory to make their own judgements about quality and suitability.
We hope the Directory will become an invaluable referral tool for advisors working with homeless people. We welcome any comments and feedback on how it might be improved in the future.
We are grateful to all those working in hostels and agencies who gave information about their services.

“Homelessness – An Integrated Strategy for Cork 2005-2007” was produced following a review by Cork Homeless Forum of the 2001-2003 strategy. The review of the strategy reflects the ongoing commitment by the Forum to the National Action Plan Against Poverty and
Social Inclusion (2002), the Local Development Social Inclusion Programme and the Health Strategy.
Much progress has been made against the targets set out in the first strategy. The review builds on the principles of good practice established by the Forum over the life of this first strategy. It addresses gaps in the service still existing from that period as well as
current needs. It is also the road map for service providers and homeless people, outlining how best to provide and access the services for the life of the new strategy. It sets out a list of outcomes the Forum wishes to achieve in the longer term, together with an extensive programme of actions to achieve these outcomes.

Some projects only accept referrals from specific agencies and will not accept self referrals or referrals from any other agencies.
Vacancies at some projects can be limited and people may have to be as flexible as possible in where they stay initially. Some projects rarely have vacancies, so also check the Vacancies field.
Finding advice and other non- residential projects Advice and support projects may offer a range of services for a number of client groups. A list of sections can be found on the Contents page.
When looking for an appropriate service, as well as looking at the local projects, consider if services may also be available from national organisations or telephone helplines. Also, if looking for eg housing advice, consider if a generalist advice agency may also offer help with housing issues.
Indexes The indexes at the back of the book will help with locating services. To find a project that you know the name of, use the alphabetical index.
There are indexes to help you quickly find projects that are specifically for women or young people.

It offers medium term housing with support to help residents develop the skills for independent living, and to address any issues which might stand in the way of this.
The level of support varies between projects but is directly linked to the needs of the residents. Stays in transitional housing are always time limited and usually range from one to two years. Some projects also target particular groups (eg young people, care leavers, families).
It may be appropriate for some people to move directly into transitional housing projects or they may be used for people moving on from emergency hostels.
