Recruiting a Dedicated Team for Co-operative Housing Ireland
Co-operative Housing Ireland (CHI) is one of Ireland’s fastest growing Approved Housing Bodies, providing over 4,500 homes to low-income households. It was formed in 1973 to support the growing housing co-operative movement that emerged in the late 1960s and 1970s to represent, promote co-operative housing nationally.
The Context
Co-operative Housing Ireland’s originated in supporting homeownership co-operatives. Today, their organisation delivers 600-700 homes to low-income households on local authority housing waiting lists. CHI delivers these through a collaborative relationship with Local Authorities, the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and trusted developers. It is also at the forefront of policy discussions with Government – working to find solutions to the current housing crisis.
