The Foyer

WHO WE ARE

The Cork Foyer and Bishopsgrove Supported Student Accommodation are key components
of Cork City Council’s commitment to addressing youth homelessness and supporting
young people in their transition to independent living. Both projects, while distinct in their
focus, share a common mission: to provide safe, supportive, and structured environments
where young people can build the skills and confidence necessary to achieve personal and
professional success.

CORK FOYER

Cork Foyer is a residential project located in the heart of Cork City, designed specifically for
young people who are in need of housing support. This project offers much more
than just a place to stay; it is a comprehensive support system aimed at empowering
residents to take control of their futures. With the capacity to accommodate up to 20 young
people between the ages of 18 to 25, Cork Foyer provides tailored support through access to education, training,
employment assistance, and life skills development programmes. Residents are
encouraged to engage actively with these opportunities as part of their journey towards
independent living. The facility, housed in a thoughtfully renovated convent on Assumption
Road, is staffed 24/7 by a dedicated team, ensuring that each resident receives the
guidance and support they need.
