Notes

1. Inside Housing carried this as its headline on October 2010 when the first details of the new investment framework became available in which associations were invited to cross-subsidise bids for new ‘affordable’ housing at 80 per cent market rents by charging similar rents on a proportion of existing relets and offering ‘flexible tenancies’ with lesser security and through selective sales of existing assets.

2. A major re-positioning campaign in the early 2000s which a leading branding consultancy was engaged to provide a sense of sector identity combining commercial and local community drivers.

3. Cluid Housing Association, Dublin – Corporate Strategy 2009–2012 ‘Housing the Platform for Social Progress’.
