A housing development in Callan has been highlighted as one in a Europe-wide movement towards ‘community-led housing’.
The aim of this new kind of community is to “imagine the best possible pattern for housing in a new era of rights and social inclusion.”
President Michael D Higgins has written the foreword to this report, saying these new kinds of developments merit the support of policy makers at a time when “it is abundantly clear that radical solutions to housing provision are needed urgently given the magnitude of a housing crisis that is not abating.”
