Homelessness charity North West Simon Community has issued a fundraising appeal ahead of Christmas in a bid to safeguard their Early Intervention and Prevention of Homelessness and Housing Services.
The principal objective of the service is to help households at risk of homelessness to avoid the need to enter emergency accommodation, and the disruption this brings to their lives.
North West Simon Community’s housing support staff provide a highly mobile early intervention and preventative service across the three North Western counties of Donegal, Leitrim, and Sligo. The charity also provides long term housing to 33 households in Donegal and Leitrim. In the first six months of 2020, North West Simon Community supported 108 Households (131 adults and 137 children) to either retain their existing home or find a new home. In 2019, it provided similar supports to 155 households in the full year.
