Tenant Engagement in Irish Social Housing
This report discusses best practice in tenant engagement across Europe and makes recommendations for the Irish social housing sector.
The Irish Tenant Engagement Network (ITEN) is a network of Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) that have come together to promote best practice in tenant engagement in Ireland. In 2024, ITEN commissioned Just Economics to conduct research to support the creation of an evidence-based framework for tenant engagement in Ireland. The project had three aims:
· To identify best practice in tenant engagement across Europe.
· To identify what tenant engagement data other social housing providers collect and how these data are used.
- To make recommendations for Irish AHBs in light of these findings.
Evaluating Peer Support Work
Focus Ireland – Ireland’s largest homelessness agency - commissioned Just Economics to conduct a qualitative evaluation of its first year of implementing peer support work.
Good Practice Guide for Housing Services
Respond, an Approved Housing Body (AHB) in Ireland, commissioned Just Economics to undertake 2-year evaluation of its non-housing services and develop a good practice guide for social landlords.
The social impact of Approved Housing Bodies in Ireland
In 2022, three of the largest Approved Housing Bodies in Ireland– Clúid Housing, Respond and Circle VHA – commissioned Just Economics to identify common outcomes across the sector and a methodology for measuring those outcomes and determining social impact.
