The Centre offers various forms of homeless supports, advice and services in one location, with an emphasis on homeless prevention and supports.  These supports may include access to social housing supports such as homeless HAP and the Place Finder service or emergency accommodation if required. WIHC is a collaborative initiative by Waterford City & County Council, working in partnership with the HSE, Focus Ireland and South East Simon Community.

Local authorities (otherwise known as city or county council’s) in Ireland are responsible for the provision of public services and facilities such as housing, planning, roads, environmental protection, fire services etc. 

They are the main providers of social housing support for people who cannot afford their own accommodation. Social housing support includes local authority housing and the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP). You must make an application to the local authority if you wish to receive social housing supports.
