Our values are at the core of our work

It’s challenging and I’m always learning. One of the things that means the most to me is that our values are at the core of our work with our customers. This means we are always striving in the right way to improve things for them.

Homelessness is a stage. It’s not a state.

A phrase that we use in Focus that guides us is homelessness is a stage. It’s not a state.

Our Mission

At Focus Ireland, we are driven by the fundamental belief that homelessness is wrong. Wrong because it is a failure of society that creates victims out of ordinary people and robs them of their potential and wrong because it can be prevented and solved; allowing it to continue undermines society. We need to challenge our society to think and act differently. We are committed to challenging everything about homelessness: the causes, systemic failures, people’s perceptions and how it is tackled. And we challenge ourselves in how we allocate resources to maximise our ability to prevent people from falling into homelessness and to help people find and keep a home. Homelessness is wrong and we have to make that felt in everything we do and say.

Our Values

Our values inform our actions and help us ensure our attitudes and behaviour reflect the ethos of the organisation. Our expectation for every employee is that Focus Ireland’s values are reflected in our work, our communications and in our relationships – with each other, and with customers and tenants, volunteers, partners, donors and funders, and the wider public. Our customers’ needs shape the services we provide. The quality of services delivery is equally as important as the kind of services we provide. These values underpin our behaviour and attitudes in the provision of service to all stakeholders.
