The Peter McVerry Trust is looking for a multi million euro bailout.
The housing charity has been battling a financial crisis.
In recent months, it's been locked in cash flow problems and significant debts.
The Department of Housing has now confirmed to the Irish Times that it's received a request for a bailout.
An oversight group from the department and the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive is considering the request.
The exact amount hasn't been confirmed but the charity is facing creditor liabilities and a Revenue Bill running into the millions.
