An approved housing body which is responsible for managing almost 2,000 homes in Cork has announced the launch of an initiative it says will enhance residents’ wellbeing.
Tuath Housing, which was established in 2006, has more than 15,000 properties nationwide, providing homes to more than 38,000 tenants.
The housing body has announced the launch of the Tuath Foundation, which it says will promote community engagement by bringing together new and existing programmes under one umbrella.
Those programmes include the established New Horizons education bursary and Tuath Community Fund, as well as three new initiatives, the Digital fund, the Social Inclusion and Diversity fund, and the Climate Action fund.

Professor Paddy Gray, chair of the housing body, said residents were at the heart of Tuath’s work and the foundation was committed to ing them in building brighter futures.
“I am certain this initiative will be a catalyst for positive change and we are excited to see the difference it will make in the lives of our residents and the wider communities we serve,” he said.
Tuath resident, Mark, who recently benefitted from the housing body’s New Horizons education bursary, said it had helped him to develop his skills by pursuing a master’s degree.
“I am happy to hear that with the Tuath Foundation, even more s and opportunities will be available to residents and community groups,” he said.
