The Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel (ONE) has announced a significant expansion of its services to support homeless veterans across Ireland. The charity, founded in 1951, is responding to a sustained increase in demand for its assistance.
ONE operates several residential homes and provides outreach services, offering accommodation, food, and support to veterans in need. The expansion includes increasing capacity at existing facilities and enhancing its nationwide support network.
The organization relies on public donations and fundraising to maintain its services. It highlights that homelessness among veterans remains a persistent issue, often linked to difficulties transitioning to civilian life, mental health challenges, and financial hardship.
This service expansion aims to provide a stable pathway for former Defence Forces personnel to rebuild their lives. ONE continues to advocate for greater state support to address the root causes of veteran homelessness in Ireland.
