Home for Good

Home for Good believe that constitutional change is an essential underpinning for any successful programme to tackle Ireland's housing and homelessness crisis.

[Home for Good @HomeforGood_]

We urgently need a referendum on the right t housing.
Updating our Constitution would help the thousands upon thousands of people who need homes and those who rent and own a home. With this update, we’d have a better functioning society as #HomeMeansHope. #HomeforGood

[EAPN Ireland @EAPNIreland]

We stand with @HomeforGood_ & call on the Government to hold a referendum on the #RightToHousing!

We need a stand-alone, enforceable right to housing in the Constitution to ensure progressive & effective housing policies across governments.

Depaul supports adding a standalone right to housing into our Constitution. A #RighttoHousing is key to tackling Ireland’s housing and homelessness crisis.We stand with Home for Good in calling on the Government to hold a referendum on the Right to
Housing! #HomeMeansHope

[Mercy Law MLRC @MLRCLaw]

MLRC is a member of the @HomeforGood_ coalition calling for a recognition of the right to housing in the Constitution. A right to housing would oblige the Government and future Governments to take real action to solve the housing crisis. #HomeMeansHope #HomeforGood

Ireland’s housing system is broken. We need a stand-alone, enforceable right to housing that supports progressive and effective housing policies across governments. Threshold supports @HomeForGood_ 's call for a referendum on the right to housing. #HomeMeansHope #HomeForGood

[Gavin Elliott @sgelliott]

Really excellent article from Mary Heavey of @CLMirl on the Right to Housing.

A referendum on the Right to Housing "represents a crucial opportunity for the Irish people to fundamentally and radically re-shape the State’s housing policies"

Home for Good are calling for a referendum that will result in a constitutional right to housing

A constitutional right to housing will balance our constitution & place onus on the State to resolve issues in our ongoing housing & homelessness crisis(2/2)

[Home for Good @HomeforGood_]

‘Taoiseach Micheál Martin has argued the Government has been given legal advice that an eviction ban would be unconstitutional’

The current imbalance in our Constitution is blocking the State from protecting people from homelessness by eviction. (1/2)

Lovely to speak and connect with colleagues working towards introducing a right to housing in Wales yesterday afternoon.

Amazing to see growing momentum towards the right to housing on an international level.
