Focus Ireland

The Focus Ireland café in Temple Bar is a cosy canteen where homeless people can go for cheap hot drinks and a meal, and to get advice on emergency housing, social welfare entitlements, and information on other support services offered by the Focus charity organisation.
The workers and volunteers here do Trojan work. Far too many people have an out-​of-​sight, out-​of-​mind attitude towards homelessness, but it is testament to the excellent work and inclusiveness of the Focus organisation that they chose this location right in the centre of Temple Bar for their café, which in itself is a poignant reminder not only of their good work, but of the reason why such an organisation is necessary in the first place.

Focus Ireland is the kind of organization that I think more cities need. With centers around the country, Focus Ireland provides services for those in various stages of homelessness — whether already homeless or on the verge of becoming so, transitioning to a work or training program and finally to finding permanent housing.

With centers around the country, Focus Ireland provides services for those in various stages of homelessness — whether already homeless or on the verge of becoming so, transitioning to a work or training program and finally to finding permanent housing. Focus Ireland helps those in need find housing and in some cases can provide it for them.
The center is also a coffee shop where anyone can come enjoy inexpensive meals and take advantage of the many programs that Focus Ireland offers. The organization also has volunteer opportunities.
