COVID-19 poses very serious challenges to people who are homeless or living in homeless services, and Simon Communities need your support to ensure we provide the strongest possible service during this crisis. It is crucial that a very necessary spotlight is kept on one of the most vulnerable groups in society in what is a very challenging time for us all. We are stretched but coping in this early phase of the crisis, however we have to continue to plan through this evolving emergency.
Simon Communities are doing all we can to keep our vital services open, including the setting up of COVID19 response teams, enhanced hygiene and infection control measures and collaborating with the HSE and local authorities to ensure that there is a coordinated response to protect those experiencing, or at risk of homelessness.
