Annual Report 2022
In 2022, we launched our new Strategic Plan 2023-2027, which committed to
doubling our housing stock during the four-year duration of the plan, with
a particular emphasis on increasing our stock of single units of housing. We
currently have a number of developments of one-bed units in Limerick city
that are close to completion.
NOVAS’ Housing Team comprises of a Head of Housing and Development, a
Tenant Engagement Manager, Housing Officers and personnel charged with
procurement and maintenance. Our Tenancy Sustainment and Resettlement
Officers also work across our housing and services teams to support a smooth
transition from homeless accommodation to independent living. This is a vital
intervention for people who require specialist tenancy sustainment support
and seeks to prevent re-occurring homelessness.
