This year’s ICSH Biennial National Social Housing Conference, Maintaining Momentum – Delivering Homes for All, will take place in The Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club, Ballyconnell, Co. Cavan on October 15th and 16th 2025.
This year, we will have a particular focus on delivery beyond general needs. The AHB sector grew initially from groups of voluntary bodies building small housing schemes for older people across the country. When the ICSH was established, we began calling for an expansion of the sector to provide housing for a growing older population as well as the opportunity for older and disabled people to move from larger to smaller homes in supported settings.
- Our Conference this year looks at how we can ensure delivery for all.
- We will have a focus on Finance. How can we secure adequate funding and what are the roadblocks?
- We will focus too on multi-agency approaches and the importance of the AHB relationship with local authorities, the HSE and other key partners and stakeholders.
- Conference sessions will harness the lived experience of individuals and households with additional needs and showcase models of best practice to create value, guide decision-making and improve outcomes.
