Kerry Parents & Friends Association does its utmost to meet needs of those requiring a residential service. All residential vacancies are referred to the Residential Placement Committee, consisting of a group of Agencies in Cork Kerry and HSE Cork Kerry, who prioritise those in need. The Committee meets monthly. KPFA is striving to increase its housing stock through its Approved Housing Body and it is hoped that it will progress through statutory regulation for housing within the next two years.

OUTREACH
Kerry Parents & Friends Association offers a countywide Outreach Service. Outreach is the activity of providing services to any person that might not otherwise have access to those services. A key component of outreach is that the provider is not stationary, but mobile. It involves meeting someone in need of an outreach service at the location where they are and providing a community based service there.
