Tuath Housing achieved unprecedented success with a record year in 2022

Approved housing body (AHB) Tuath Housing delivered over 1,900 homes across 19 local authorities in 2022, according to its annual report for 2022, which was launched by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien.

2022 was a ground-breaking year for Tuath, as it surpassed all previous records by delivering 1,983 homes, catering for the housing needs of over 4,000 people. Moreover, the association achieved an exceptional annual turnover of €102m, spending €422m on the delivery of new homes nationwide.

Tuath also significantly strengthened its workforce by welcoming 59 new staff members, with staff numbers now exceeding 180 employees across five offices throughout the country.

The annual report highlights several noteworthy accomplishments from the past year. Among them are the successful conversion of Park West Plaza in Cherry Orchard, Dublin, transforming the office space into residential units, and the restoration of the historic Ellis Court building on Benburb Street. These projects exemplify Tuath’s commitment to revitalising communities and preserving Ireland’s architectural heritage. Additionally, the launch of the Tenant Engagement strategy underscores Tuath’s vision of becoming a frontrunner in engaging and empowering tenants in the years ahead.

In line with its broader objectives, Tuath actively participated in the introduction of cost-rental housing. Through this new model, the organisation delivered 256 cost-rental homes in 2022, making a significant contribution to the provision of affordable housing in Ireland.

Tuath has numerous ongoing projects, with over 2,300 homes under development. The organisation remains steadfast in its commitment to work with its many partners, continuing to invest in people, places, and communities.

Speaking at the launch, Minister O’Brien said, “I want to congratulate Tuath on what has been another outstanding year. One of the many highlights of my job is getting to visit new developments and see people get the keys to their forever home. Tuath made that a reality for more than 4,000 individuals and families in 2022. Through Housing for All, AHBs such as Tuath will play an increasing role in the provision of social and affordable housing, and I look forward to continuing to work with them.”
