Focus Ireland works to influence the social and political environment in which Ireland operates by undertaking a programme of national and local research projects, policy analysis and development.

This work helps us to identify the needs of our customers and to lobby for changes in public policy and provision for those experiencing homelessness. By developing evidence based research and policy we hope to influence policy and provision.

Focus Ireland also believes that education plays a key role in the prevention of homelessness and in increasing public awareness of the different issues associated with homelessness.
