The Good Shepherd Centre works with homeless men, women, families and those at risk of becoming homeless, in Kilkenny and its environs. We offer emergency accommodation, transitional housing and resettlement services with the aim of returning people to sustained independent living.

​The Good Shepherd Centre regards itself as a place for support and re-settlement services rather than just a hostel.

'Throughcare' is a client centred approach using agreed Personal Action Plans.



A multi-agency and collaborative approach is used in the delivery of services, engaging with such agencies as:

• The Local Authority 
• HSE
• Addiction Services
• Kilkenny local Mental Health Services
• Shine
• MABS
• Focus Ireland
