Depaul’s community based service based in Ballymun, Dublin aims to prevent homelessness and support people at risk of homelessness to maintain their home in the community.

Depaul’s Ballymun Case Management Team is a flexible support service for people and families in the Ballymun and surrounding area. We offer advice and support in a range of areas that can prove difficult to deal with alone.

The team take a case management approach, meaning we can support individuals and families with one issue or a number of issues. We assist people who are at risk of homelessness in getting the best support available and help to coordinate all of the advice and support they receive. As it can be difficult to know what to do and can cause more challenges for a person or family at risk of homelessness when they need practical advice and help.
