Dublin Region Homeless Executive (DRHE)
The Dublin Region Homeless Executive (DRHE) is provided by Dublin City Council as the lead statutory local authority in the response to homelessness in Dublin and adopts a shared service approach across South Dublin County Council, Fingal County Council and Dún Laoghaire- Rathdown County Council.
Your information is processed either because it is necessary for the performance of our service and/or because you have consented to our use of personal data. The legal basis for the processing is provided for under Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009, Social Housing Assessment Regulations 2011/ Allocations Scheme 2018 and the Housing Acts 1966-2014.
The information you provide may be shared with:
- Internal sections of Dublin City Council
- An Garda Síochána
- HSE
- TUSLA
- Voluntary bodies and any other authorised bodies that in our opinion may assist in consideration of your application.
- The DRHE may, in conjunction with the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, process your data for research purposes including forward planning in relation to the assessment of housing needs.
In certain circumstances we may be legally required to share data held by us, which may include your personal data, for example, where we are involved in legal proceedings or court ordered. We are mandated by law to share information with TUSLA, Child and Family Agency, where a child may be at risk of harm. We may share your information with the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, for the purpose of assessing eligibility and supports provided on the basis of homelessness.
Your information will be retained for a period of two (2) years of no activity and then anonymized for statistical and research purposes. All active applications for homeless services will be retained, until your housing need is met.
