Abstract: Let $(GrP,mathsf{D}_G)$ be a Dirac groupoid. We show that there are natural Lie algebroid structures on the units $lieA(mathsf{D}_G)$ and on the core $I^g(mathsf{D}_G)$ of the multiplicative Dirac structure. In the Poisson case, the Lie algebroid $A^{\ast }G$ is isomorphic to $lieA(mathsf{D}_G)$ and in the case of a closed 2-form, the $IM$-2-form is equivalent to the core algebroid that we find. We construct a vector bundle $lieB(mathsf{D}_G)oP$ associated to any (almost) Dirac structure. In the Dirac case, $lieB(mathsf{D}_G)$ has the structure of a Courant algebroid that generalizes the Courant algebroid defined by the Lie bialgebroid of a Poisson groupoid. This Courant algebroid structure is induced in a natural way by the ambient Courant algebroid $TGoplus{T}^{\ast }G$. The already known theorems about one-one correspondence between the homogeneous spaces of a Poisson Lie group (respectively Poisson groupoid, Dirac Lie group) and suitable Lagrangian subspaces of the Lie bialgebra or Lie bialgebroid are generalized to a classification of the Dirac homogeneous spaces of a Dirac groupoid. $mathsf{D}_G$-homogeneous Dirac structures on $G/H$ are related to suitable Dirac structures in $lieB(mathsf{D}_G)$. In the case of almost Dirac structures, we find Lagrangian subspaces of $lieB(D_G)$, that are invariant under an induced action of the bisections of $H$ on $lieB(mathsf{D}_G)$.
