Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) Ireland
The Connecting Communities Project aims to enhance the long-term integration prospects of persons granted status/permission to remain as they seek to exit IPAS accommodation – and reduce the associated impacts of social exclusion – through the provision of comprehensive integration supports throughout the transition process and after they move into communities nationwide. The project seeks to complement the accommodation finding service coordinated by the Peter McVerry Trust and Depaul for IPAS residents.
