Buy and Renew Scheme
Councils can buy suitable vacant properties in need of repair from property owners and make them available for social housing.
Local Economic and Community Plan
In July 2014, a new Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) for County Cavan was set up which must prepare a six-year Local Economic and Community Plan in cooperation with the County Council.
Voluntary Housing
Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs), also called housing associations or voluntary housing associations, are independent, not-for-profit organisations. They provide affordable rented housing for people who cannot afford to pay private sector rents or buy their own homes, or for particular groups, such as older people or homeless people.
