Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Impact of Homelessness on Children: Discussion

Ms Niamh Lambe:

The Family Homeless Action Team of Focus Ireland work in 24 locations in Dublin and I can only speak about the services provided by Focus Ireland. In terms of support, 9% of the children on our caseload would have child support workers and all of the families that we work with in these locations have case managers. A case manager works with parents and the child support worker works with children.
