The Housing Alliance is a collaboration of seven of Ireland’s largest Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs): Clúid Housing, Circle Voluntary Housing, Co-operative Housing Ireland, Oaklee, Respond, The Iveagh Trust and Tuath Housing.
What do we do?
The Housing Alliance was formed to promote the delivery of social and affordable housing by larger AHBs, to address barriers and challenges to delivery, and to promote strong professional approaches to housing management.Housing Alliance member AHBs work collaboratively on a range of issues, while also retaining their independent status.
Through our work as AHBs, we deliver social and affordable housing for people who cannot afford to buy or rent their own homes. All member AHBs work in close co-operation with relevant partners and are regulated by the Housing Regulator and Charities Commissioner.
Our Impact
Collectively, the Alliance is responsible for over 50,000 homes nationwide.
The Government recognises that AHBs are central to the meeting of Ireland’s social and affordable housing needs. Under Housing for All, 47,600 new social homes are to be provided between 2022-26 and the government’s target is that AHBs will provide 40% of these – equivalent to more than 21,000 social homes.
Our Partners
To deliver much-needed social housing, Housing Alliance members work in partnership with the Department of Housing, local government; local authorities; the Housing Agency; a range of funding partners; and the private sector.
