It is a collaboration with Carlow County Council, the Carlow/Kilkenny HSE Mental Health Services and the Good Shepherd Centre, Kilkenny. It is informed by the National and Local Housing Strategies for People with a Disability, Sharing the Vision (Dept of Health, 2020), Housing for All- A new housing plan for Ireland( Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage , 2021) and the HSE’s National Recovery Framework (HSE, 2018). Funding has been sourced from the Kilkenny HSE Mental Health Services and the Good Shepherd Centre to employ a project worker through the Grant Aid process. Secure tenancies with support are recognized as the way forward for many of those with complex needs. The START Project requires a project worker to support tenants under the programme. The Good Shepherd Centre in conjunction with Mental Health Service Area 5 Kilkenny and in partnership with Kilkenny Local Authority will provide homecare support and a recovery orientated tenancy sustainment programme.
