Respond! was established in 1982 and is Ireland’s largest non-profit Housing Association. We have built more than 4500 homes nationwide with a further 800 under construction. Respond! have provided homes for traditional families, lone-parent families, the elderly, the homeless and disabled people.

Respond! aims to:

* Establish and maintain vibrant, socially integrated communities rather than simply providing just shelter or accommodation

* Advance education among residents of our estates

* Promote other charitable purposes beneficial to the community

* Prevent and relieve hardship and distress amongst those who are homeless and amongst those in need who are living in adverse housing conditions

Respond! believes in providing housing for social investment rather than financial profit. Therefore, we provide housing for some of the most vulnerable groups in society including those who have lived for long periods in hostels, temporary and insecure accommodation
