IRISH COUNCIL FOR SOCIAL HOUSING

The Irish Council for Social Housing (ICSH) is the national federation for approved housing bodies, championing the development of housing policy and the delivery of social housing across the Republic. By providing a clear overview of social-housing provision, the Council equips its members with the research, guidance and advocacy needed to shape a more inclusive housing sector.

ICSH's core services include policy development, member support programmes, and the production of timely resources such as the monthly newsletter, asset-management templates for smaller providers, and specialist research on issues ranging from the EU Affordable Housing Plan to Ireland's accessible-housing crisis. The Council also celebrates excellence in the field through initiatives like the IPSB Community Housing Awards and hosts the annual National Housing Conference, bringing together key partners, policymakers and practitioners.

Through its thought-leadership, statements on government plans and collaborative events with bodies such as the National Disability Authority and Age Friendly Ireland, the Irish Council for Social Housing drives forward a vision of affordable, quality homes and stronger communities for all.
