Focus Ireland expands service for young people

Focus Ireland is to expand its services aimed at preventing young people aged 18 to 26 from becoming homeless.

Ger Spillane, regional manager with Focus Ireland for the southern region, said a programme that has already been in operation in Cork for the past year and which has already been expanded into other parts of Munster will now be available into Co Clare and north Tipperary.

It is expected that across all the areas in which the scheme will run, 40 to 45 housing units units will be available.
