Can someone help me with my application?
Yes. Donegal has DCB community facilitators whose job is to support and guide you through the application process, and to help you reach the support services you need.
Who are the facilitators for?
Demand for the service is high. So the facilitators give priority to:
- homeowners and families who are most vulnerable, and
- applicants who may not have what they need to submit an online application.
If that sounds like you, please get in touch. You do not have to work through this alone.
How do I contact a facilitator?
Contact the facilitators for the area your home is in.
