1. INTRODUCTION
The Dublin Homeless Network are commissioning work designed to
complement the Dublin Region Homeless Executive?s ongoing Review of
Homeless Accommodation Services. This analysis will identify key
learnings from the voluntary providers? perspective that will
contribute to national homelessness response and elimination
strategies.
2. BACKGROUND
The Dublin Homeless Network is a network of organisations in the
voluntary sector that provide services and/or housing to people
experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. The Network is a
voice for voluntary homeless organisations in Dublin which;
* Informs national and local government policy and strategies on
homelessness.

bodies to work towards eliminating homelessness and improve policy and
services.
* Provides an accountable and democratic structure to nominate
representatives from the sector.
3. QUANTIFIABLE METRICS
This review is to contribute to the national policy to eliminate
homelessness led by the Dublin Region Homeless Executive in the
greater Dublin area.
Specifically, the GOAL is to:
* Identify ways from a homeless services provider?s perspective to
improve the quality and effectiveness of homeless services in
preventing and addressing homelessness and supporting people in
housing.
* Identify the challenges experienced by homeless services providers
as they seek to improve the effectiveness of homeless services in
preventing and addressing homelessness and supporting people who have
moved on to housing.
* Make recommendations based on review process.
* Outline how these recommendations align with the Programme for
Government - Our Shared Future (June **Apply on the website**)
These AREAS TO BE EXPLORED under the following domains:
* Vision of future service design and delivery for various categories
of people experiencing homelessness.
* Financial issues.
* Workforce development issues - staff attraction and retention.
* Quality Systems and Standards.
* Intersection of health & homelessness.

consultation with key stakeholders.

government departments and statutory and voluntary bodies.
