Finding the Way Home

Acknowledgements This research would not have been possible without the support of a large number of people. The researchers would like to thank all those people who were or who had recently been homeless who participated in the focus groups for their views and for their insights. We would also like to extend our thanks to the staff working for Simon Communities in Cork, Dublin, Dundalk, Letterkenny and Sligo. We are also grateful to a range of other agencies providing care and support to people who are homeless across Ireland who made the effort to respond to the consultation undertaken for this research. Within the Simon Communities of Ireland National Office we would like to extend our particular thanks to Niamh Randall, National Research and Policy Manager and Louise Lennon, Policy Assistant, for their help and support with the research.
