Resumo: The project works within a principle of 'harm reduction' which means that we work with service users at their level and individual needs to provide the best possible interventions for them. Because of the needs of the service users the project has allocated communal areas where service users can consume their own alcohol on site under alcohol management procedures.

The project provides its service users with a safe and comfortable home. It provides all the services one would normally expect in a hostel from single room accommodation to full catering and laundry facilities. During service users stay, they are also engaged in a key working system which allows them to gain access to welfare rights advice, health care, personal development and any other specialist services that they may need.

Most importantly, the project provides a homely environment where people can feel safe and comfortable and begin to address the issues which may have led to them becoming homeless in the first place. Service Users are supported to move on to their own independent tenancy via the Housing First Service.

Service users may be living chaotic lives and it can be a challenge for volunteers to engage them in activities. Depaul celebrates even the smallest of achievement and volunteers should be patient when working with this client group who can be challenging and apathetic due to low self esteem and alcohol related health problems.
