Moving to and Emigrating from Ireland
This section provides RESOURCES for those moving to or returning to Ireland and those emigrating from Ireland to the United States. The Irish Episcopal Council for Emigrants (IECE) has extensive resources and helps to navigate emigration to the United States. However, the regulations of the U.S. legal immigration system are complex and ever-changing. We recommend that you consult professional accredited assistance to manage this aspect of emigration to the U.S. from Ireland

SAFE HOME
Safe Home Ireland is an Irish emigrant support service that provides a range of services to more than 2,000 people each year. We provide an advice and information service, undertake outreach visits and provide housing assistance to eligible applicants.
Safe Home Ireland was established in the year 2000 to assist older qualifying Irish born emigrants to explore the option of returning to live in their native areas. The organisation was set up as a Pilot Project by a local GP and Safe Home Ireland Life President, Dr. Jerry Cowley.
Over the years, Safe Home has evolved from simply providing a housing option for older Irish born emigrants. Our work is now spread across the 26 counties and we provide supports to our applicants at every stage of their journey from the initial enquiry abroad to actual return home.
