Homelessness affects people from all walks of life, and they can often feel unseen and unheard
Our LEAP (Lived Experience Ambassador Programme) Ambassadors are individuals who have experienced homelessness firsthand. They are the heart of our mission, sharing their stories to break down stigma and inspire change. Their voices are essential in creating a world where everyone has a place to call home. Head over to our video section to listen to their experiences, or read 14-year old Chloe’s powerful story.

It is impossible to imagine what homelessness must be like for a child or young person. But there are over 4,000 children in homelessness in Ireland right now and it so important that their voices are heard too. We asked Chloe* (aged 14) if she would be willing to share a little bit about what homelessness was like for her.
She and her family were forced into homelessness two years ago when their landlord put their home up for sale. That’s all it took. One phone call to say, “We’re selling”.
*Chloe’s name has been changed.
