Limerick gains more social housing as housing body reports ‘biggest year yet'
The eight homes bring the total number of Clúid-managed properties in Limerick to 368, helping to provide secure housing for individuals and families in need across the city and county.
Founded in 1994, Clúid Housing delivered 1,525 new homes nationwide last year, including 853 general needs social homes, 408 Cost Rental homes, and 264 age-friendly units across ten local authority areas.
It was the organisation's most successful year of delivery since its establishment as Ireland's leading Approved Housing Body (AHB).
Chief Executive Officer Brian O'Gorman praised the progress and highlighted the importance of the partnerships that made it possible:
'2024 was our biggest year for delivery yet. 1,525 new high-quality, secure, long-term, affordable homes for those in housing need,' he said.
'We're proud to be able to use this wealth of expertise and experience to contribute to addressing the current housing crisis.'
Clúid currently manages over 13,000 homes nationwide, housing nearly 33,000 residents, and is on track to deliver more than 1,000 new homes in 2025, with many through their growing construction programmes.
The figures were released as part of Clúid's 2024 Annual Report, which details the organisation's achievements in areas including housing delivery, placemaking, community development, and sustainability.
