Client is housed by Cluid Housing, Killarney. Client can not return to home for safety reasons. SDVS staff have been advocating on behalf of client for transfer to Fingal Co. housing list so she can be near family supports. If an individual is housed, or on a housing list they are not usually considered by a local Authority outside their area. We met contact with Louise O Reilly TD to lobby with Fingal CC to have client accepted to FCC housing list on exceptional Social grounds.
