40 Simon Communities of Ireland Simon Communities in Ireland Simon Communities in Ireland are made up of a network of eight regionally based independent communities. Each Community is a separate legal entity, individually governed and managed and are all funded separately. All eight Simon Communities work collectively through a National Office to conduct valuable research and to inform and influence national policy. This structure is one of the key strengths of Simon – it enables us to respond most effectively to the issues of homelessness that are particular to each region; mobilising local support, responding to local issues using local expertise and local resources. Services range from • Housing provision, tenancy sustainment & settlement services, housing advice & information services helping people to make the move out of homelessness & working with households at risk; • Specialist health & treatment services addressing some of the issues which may have contributed to homeless occurring or may be a consequence; • Emergency accommodation & support providing people with a place of welcome, warmth & safety; • Soup runs & rough sleeper teams who are often the first point of contact for people sleeping rough.
