Fernbrook Family hub is our newest service supporting families experiencing homelessness in Cork, opening late 2025.

Fernbrook is more than emergency accommodation. It is a safe and welcoming space where families can access practical supports, advocacy and guidance while working towards stable housing.

At Good Shepherd Cork we believe in supporting and empowering families to achieve their goals. Through trusting relationships, child centred supports, and a focus on dignity and respect, we work alongside families as they navigate challenging times and build towards a more secure future.

Every family deserves a place to feel safe, supported and hopeful.

A lovely piece looking back at the story behind Edel House and the dedication of the Good Shepherd Sisters to supporting people experiencing homelessness in Cork.

We are proud to see the legacy of the Good Shepherd Sisters and the work that led to the creation of Edel House being recognised and shared. For generations, women and families facing homelessness have found support, dignity, and hope through these services.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey, past and present, and to those who continue to support our mission every day.
