Housing Review 2011

Cork City Council is currently reviewing all social housing applications which were received on or before 31st December 2008 and were approved as being eligible for social housing support. The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, issued new Social Housing Assessment Regulations which came into effect on 1st April 2011. As a result, Cork City Council is obliged to review all applications for social housing received before that date so as to comply with these new regulations and determine eligibility for social housing support.

“Cork Foyer, empowering young adults to realise their full potential and take their rightful place in the local community.” The Cork Foyer is a Cork City Council housing project that is steered by a Management Committee comprising of representatives from Cork City Enterprise Board, HSE, VEC, FAS, Cork County Council, An Garda Sìochána, Foyer Residents and the Blackpool Community Association. The project provides a unique combination of safe and secure accommodation, support and training under one roof for 18 young adults that were homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Positive developments are encouraged both personally and academically, equipping young adults with the skills needed to progress from dependence to independence. Foyers are a place to live and learn”. To apply or find further information visit www.corkfoyer.ie
