JOB PURPOSE: The overall aim of the service is to provide a package of
support (housing related key working, case management and resettlement
support) which will enable individuals with severe and enduring mental
health difficulties in Galway City and County to live independently
and become full participants in their communities. Action Plan for
Housing and Homelessness cites that; ?Accommodation alone will not
address the underlying problems of vulnerable groups such as those
experiencing mental ill health and that their complex needs must be
addressed by offering supports of a holistic, medical and practical
manner.? (Mental Health has a specific aim in the National Housing
Strategy for People with Disabilities). A priority action of the
National Housing Strategy for people with Disabilities is to
transition clients from HSE low and medium and high supported
hostels/homes to Approved Housing Body and Local Authority tenancies
in their community.
