Abstract
This position paper offers a viewpoint on the current housing crisis in Ireland from the perspective of adult mental health social workers. A key part of the social work role is to assist individuals and families with accessing housing and accommodation, so that they might have an opportunity to build their recovery upon a secure base. The paper begins with a brief review of literature related to the role of the social worker in this area. The methodology is outlined and followed by the study findings. The paper concludes with discussion and key recommendations for social workers, government, housing departments, council services, educators and others involved in this important field.
