Statutory responsibility in relation to the provision of accommodation and related services for homeless persons rests with the housing authorities, in this instance Dublin City Council. Any individual experiencing homelessness or at risk of it in Dublin should contact the Local Authority Assessment and Placement Service by calling into the office directly at 6 - 9 Conyngham Road, Parkgate Hall, Dublin 8 or by telephoning the 24 Hour Homeless Helpline on 1800 707 707. The service will organise temporary accommodation for a homeless person and will assign a Housing Officer, who will work to put in place more long-term accommodation options.
