Ó CUALANN KILHEDGE LANE PROJECT DESIGNATED ACTIVITY COMPANY

Ó Cualann Kilhedge Lane Project Designated Activity Company is a not‑for‑profit Approved Housing Body with charitable status that has devised a replicable model for truly affordable housing across Ireland. By delivering mixed‑income, fully‑integrated co‑operative communities, Ó Cualann ensures homes are both affordable to purchase and inexpensive to run, with every development meeting a minimum A2 energy rating and incorporating sustainability partnerships.

The organisation works hand‑in‑hand with local authorities, state agencies, community‑led housing groups and other approved housing bodies to create permanently affordable, mixed‑tenure neighbourhoods. Its model centres on three core strands that enable scalable, cost‑effective construction and long‑term affordability, and it is supported by a pipeline of developments slated for the next three years. Homeowners regularly cite lower energy bills, reduced rent pressures and a sense of security as key benefits of living in an Ó Cualann home.

Guided by a highly‑skilled management team and a board of volunteer directors, Ó Cualann’s mission is to build a more just society by providing thoughtfully designed, low‑cost homes for families who struggle to find suitable accommodation on the open market.
