Peter McVerry Trust

Peter McVerry Trust is a strong advocate for investment in, and development of, social housing stock in Ireland.

Peter McVerry Trust is a member of the Irish Council for Social Housing and is a Tier 3 body, those organisations with 300 or more social housing units. Peter McVerry Trust is also one of the fastest growing providers of social housing in the State.

As a specialist approved housing body, Peter McVerry Trust is a key provider of social housing for people exiting homelessness and those at risk of homelessness such as care leavers.

Our focus is providing housing to single people, who are the single largest cohort in homelessness and on the broader social housing waiting list.

Please note that all people we house are allocated from the Local Authority’s social housing waiting list in consultation with Peter McVerry Trust.

Please take the time to look at some of our recent social housing projects below. These projects are funded through a combination of funding from the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, Local Authorities, and our donors.
