In recent years Clúid has expanded its offerings to include 911 age-friendly homes delivered by Clann, its dedicated housing service for older persons. The housing body has also delivered over 270 Cost Rental homes, a new form of tenure that allows residents to pay rents that are solely based on the cost to build, manage, and maintain the homes.
In a statement, a spokesperson said Clúid is looking to deliver more housing in Clare.
"Clúid has homes in every county in Ireland, including Clare. There are currently 273 residents in 92 Clúid homes in Clare. We are currently assessing future developments to deliver more homes in the county in the years ahead, and help Clare Coco meet their Housing Delivery Action Plan targets and overall Housing For All targets", the spokesperson said.
Clúid's Chief Executive Officer, Brian O’Gorman commented, “Clúid’s vision is ‘a society where everyone has a great place to live’, and I am delighted to announce today that 27,099 people are living in our 10,272 homes. Everyone in Clúid has worked hard over the years to achieve this milestone and I would like to congratulate each of them.
Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien TD said: “Reaching 10,000 homes in management is a significant milestone and I congratulate Brian and everyone in Clúid for their commitment”.
