Tuath launches Resident Engagement Strategy 2026–2029

Tuath Housing has officially launched its Resident Engagement Strategy 2026–2029, with three simultaneous events taking place in Dublin, Navan and Cork.

The strategy was formally launched by Board Chair Richard Pike, who emphasised the central role of resident voice in shaping Tuath’s work:

“This strategy is grounded in a simple but powerful belief: the voices of our residents matter.”

Speaking at the launch, Chief Operations Officer and Deputy CEO Bronagh D’Arcy highlighted the significance of the strategy as a reflection of both organisational priorities and the voices of residents:

“This strategy reflects not only our organisational priorities, but the voices, experiences and insights of our residents.”

Developed through extensive engagement, the strategy was co-written by residents and staff, supported by a national consultation survey completed by over 2,300 households. A dedicated Strategy Writing Group met multiple times over the past year to ensure resident perspectives were embedded throughout.

The strategy builds on the achievements of Tuath’s first Tenant Engagement Strategy (2022–2025), during which nearly all objectives were completed or progressed, alongside key initiatives such as resident feedback panels, community partnerships, and the establishment of the Tuath Foundation.

Over the next three years, Tuath will focus on three core priorities:

  • Communicate: Deliver clear, accessible and transparent communication, including a “You said, we did” approach
  • Involve: Provide meaningful opportunities for residents to influence decision-making
  • Empower: Support resident leadership, skills development and inclusive participation across communities

With over 17,500 homes and 40,000 residents nationwide, the strategy sets out a structured approach to engagement through Customer and Community frameworks, alongside strengthened governance, performance reporting, and the development of a new Resident Voice and Engagement Panel.

The launch also acknowledged the vital contributions of residents and staff who helped shape the strategy.

This new strategy reinforces Tuath’s commitment to working in partnership with residents to deliver high-quality housing services and to support strong, connected communities across Ireland.
