Óglaigh Náisiúnta na hÉireann - or ONE - was formed in 1951, after the demobilisation that followed the Emergency years, during World War II
The charity says the dedicated accommodation it offers is a vital support to ex members of the Defence Forces, who are in need of transitional housing.
It provides housing at a number of locations around the country.
At an event to mark the 75th anniversary of ONE at Cathal Brugha Barracks in Dublin, President Catherine Connolly commended the work being carried out by the organisation.
Stating that it was "important to give the figures", she detailed how 17,112 people, including 5,319 children, were residing in emergency accommodation in January of this year.
ONE says it plans to further add to the locations where it has a presence, with extra accommodation in counties Louth and Galway, in the coming years.
