Sherrard House, formerly the Homeless Girls Society was founded in 1969 by the Dominican Order to provide emergency and residential service for girls aged between 13 and 18 years of age in the city centre area of Dublin.
The services are registered to provide one emergency bed to the Crisis Intervention Prevention Service (CISP), this is the out of hours service operated nationally, and four residential beds to TUSLA under the Section 56 funding agreement.
The service is managed by one centre manager and a deputy manager. There is a staff compliment of four social care leaders, four full time social care workers, three part time social care workers and five relief social care workers.
The management of the services are supported by a board of management. The board of management is comprised of a voluntary group of professionals from different spectrums of expertise, accounting, finance, legal, psychology, social work, estate management, as well as other supportive professions, and the input of this support is imperative to the structured management of the services offered in Sherrard House.
