Peter McVerry Trust is committed to reducing the effects of homelessness, drug misuse and social disadvantage among young people in the Dublin area. The Trust provides a range of services through a continuum of care model, based on the principles of respect and dignity.

Peter McVerry Trust has the following service provisions in the greater Dublin area:
