Making a House a Home in Louth and Meath

Habitat Ireland’s ‘House to Home’ event, held at ReStore Drogheda on the Donore Road, showcased the organisation's local programme which is committed to supporting vulnerable individuals.  

Those who attended had the opportunity to hear more about how the programme delivers impact for local people, as well as more about how Habitat ReStore tackles poverty locally; enabling families to access low cost home improvement materials, providing training and employability support and diverting tons of material from landfill, protecting the planet.  

Habitat reached out to local politicians and potential partner agencies in Drogheda and surrounding areas, seeking collaboration to identify and support clients who would benefit most. 

The 'House to Home' programme addresses the needs of people who have experienced homelessness or are at risk of repeat homelessness. By providing practical support, the programme provides tailored, practical support to help individuals make their house a home. 2023, Habitat delivered more than 153 interventions; helping people of all ages and backgrounds to feel safe and secure in the place they call home. 

Habitat Ireland’s Chief Executive, Jenny Williams, said, “Habitat’s vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live matters in Ireland. We don’t have all the solutions but we have seen how House to Home delivers real change and we look forward to working with local agencies to grow the programme here”.
