Clúid (Irish: clúid – shelter) is an Irish non-governmental organisation and housing agency, based in Dublin which was originally established as the St. Pancras Housing Association in January 1994 with a mandate to provide Public housing.[1][2]
As of July 2023, Clúid is the largest housing agency in Ireland with more than 26,000 residents and more than 10,000 homes under management and with turnover of €93.95m in 2022.[3] The organisation also had net assets of €1.8 billion and managed housing in each of the 26 counties in the Republic of Ireland.[4]
Clúid is also actively involved in the provision of cost rental homes.[5]
The organisation develops housing and apartments itself as well as upgrading, refurbishing and extending its existing stock of housing. In recent years the organisation has also began to acquire turnkey completed developments and to forward-fund apartment and housing developments.[6][7][8]
The organisation regularly lobbies ministers and government departments in relation to housing issues including the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.[9]
