The Government approved allocations, on 28 April 2009, of €1.56 million to support 80 family support services, and €1.5 million to support 20 projects under the homeless measure. The mid-term review of the national drugs strategy in 2005 identified the provision of family support services as crucial in delivering the strategic aim of reducing harm to families. The funding of €1.56 million from the dormant accounts fund will support 80 such projects. My Department is the lead Department with responsibility for this measure.
Under the homeless measure, €1.5 million has been allocated to 20 projects for services to meet the needs of homeless persons. The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government is the lead Department with responsibility for this measure.
A list of projects approved under each measure is provided in the following tables.
