This report presents four in-depth lived experience case studies from the problem phase of the COMHOM project in Ireland.
Through personal accounts, pathways into and out of homelessness are explored, highlighting the factors that support or hinder people’s journeys towards housing stability and wellbeing.
Alongside these individual stories, broader themes and insights are identified to inform more responsive, inclusive, and effective homelessness services and policies.
Pathways Through Homelessness: A Lived Experience Case Study from the COMHOM Project was developed as part of the problem phase of the COMHOM project in Ireland, an EU-funded initiative delivered by a consortium of ten European partners.
Led locally by Simon Communities of Ireland (SCI), the project aims to address homelessness through the design of human-centred, evidence-based digital solutions that improve service access, coordination, and long-term housing outcomes.
Through this work, SCI aim to highlight the voices of people with lived experience, using their insights to shape more responsive, inclusive, and effective homelessness services.
The COMHOM project has received funding from the European Union’s European Social Fund (ESF+) under Grant Agreement No. 101172624. Support from ESF+ made this work possible. Simon Communities of Ireland is proud to contribute to COMHOM and to share the insights gathered in Ireland.
