Volunteering in Ireland
Vincentian Housing Partnership
The Vincentian Housing Partnership was officially opened in October 1995 to provide transitional housing for people who are homeless and vulnerable, aged between 20 and 50, male or female, single or couples, with or without children.
In October 1997 St Peter's Parish in Phibsboro became aware of an increasing number of asylum seekers and refugees living in the immediate area. While wishing to extend a welcome to the new arrivals, there was uncertainty as how best to do that.
