Peter McVerry Trust Ltd

Founded in 1983, Peter McVerry Trust has almost 40 years of experience in working with homeless people and those at risk of homelessness to support them to secure and sustain appropriate housing. As a well-established Approved Housing Body, Peter McVerry Trust is a direct provider of housing to this vulnerable group. The organisation provides ongoing tenancy support and sustainment services not only to those it directly houses, but also to others in non-PMVT tenancies. In responding to the needs of this vulnerable target group many of whom present with complex low threshold needs, PMVT has developed a range of services to address issues such as problematic drug/alcohol use, criminal justice issues, budgeting skills, accessing education and training, tenant/landlord relationships, challenging behaviour, mental health issues and the challenges associated with leaving an under 18s residential care setting or returning to the community on completion of a custodial sentence. Our vision is an Ireland that supports all those on the margins and upholds their rights to full inclusion in society. Peter McVerry Trust is committed to reducing homelessness, the harm caused by substance misuse and social disadvantage. Peter McVerry Trust provides low-threshold entry services, primarily to younger people and vulnerable adults with complex needs, and offers pathways out of homelessness based on the principles of the Housing First model.
