Homeless Services for Youth (under 18 years)

If you are homeless and aged under 18 years of age, the Health Service Executive (HSE) has responsibility to respond to your needs. A social worker with the HSE will help you. If you become homeless or are at risk of homelessness, go to your local area health office.

If after 5pm (i.e. the local area health office is closed), go to the local Garda Station and the Gardaí will contact the on-duty Social Worker for the HSE Area so that emergency accommodation can be arranged.  Services are listed next.
