Taoiseach praises Cork charity for ‘holistic’ approach to homelessness

Cork Manager for Sophia, Nora Marie O’Keeffe said the Taoiseach’s visit marked an important day for the organisation, which supports over 100 people in Cork city and county at any one time.

An Taoiseach Micheál Martin marking the extension of Sophia Cork Homeless Services - Sophia is a national homeless charity that provides housing with support to people who have experienced homelessness.

The Taoiseach Micheál Martin visited a housing project on the southside of Cork city on Sunday where he praised Sophia, the charity behind the development, for its “compassionate and holistic approach” to homelessness.

The national charity adopts a unique approach to tackling homelessness by focussing on providing permanent homes rather than providing temporary shelter or accommodation.
