Crosscare
Housing and Welfare Information have developed a
number of information sessions that may be of use
to both service providers within the homeless sector
and service providers who are coming into increasing
contact with people experiencing homelessness. The
sessions may also be delivered to service users.
In
2008, we offer the following information inputs:
1. Accessing Accommodation in the Private Rented
Sector
2. Understanding Homelessness
3. Emergency Services and the First Steps out of
Homelessness (based on Crosscare Housing and Welfare
Information’s ‘Map of Homeless Services’, see ‘Map’
on this site)
These
sessions are offered free-of-charge in your workplace,
include handouts and will last approximately 1-2
hours. To book a session or for more information
please contact Ciara McGrath, Information/Outreach
Worker, Crosscare Housing and Welfare Information,
ciaramcgrath@crosscare.ie , tel. 01 – 872 6775 |
