Everyone needs a roof over their heads and somewhere warm, safe and comfortable to call home – and the Housing Agency, a state-funded body, working mainly with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) works to meet the nation’s housing needs.

Are you looking for a career where every day is different? Where you can make an impact on the lives of others? The Housing Agency is looking for enthusiastic, hard working people to join our team. 

Multi-unit developments (MUDs) are estates where an owners’ management company, or OMC for short, is responsible for maintaining shared facilities such as gardens, amenity spaces, halls, corridors, and parking. These managed estates are often apartment buildings or duplexes. They can also be townhouses or stand-alone houses that share common facilities. The quality and the sustainability of the built environment enjoyed by these communities rely on well-run OMCs.

The Housing Agency's Leadership In Housing Conference takes place on September 29th in the Hibernia Conference Centre, Dublin Castle from 8.30am - 2pm. 

The Conference will bring together senior housing professionals working across the sector to network and engage with expert speakers. Attendees will hear from inspiring and motivating experts in leadership from Ireland and abroad. 

On the 19th September 2023, The Housing Alliance launched their research report Providing environmental leadership in social housing to advance Climate Action goals. This research was funded by The Housing Agency under the 2021 research support programme. 

The Housing Agency presents a lunchtime webinar intended to provide insights into practical energy cost saving measures for multi-unit developments, and owners’ management companies. 

This event will be of interest to a wide audience- owners’ management companies, Approved Housing Bodies, property professionals, residents, local authority personnel, and other stakeholders in the multi-unit developments sector.
