Call for innovative practices

In addition to the IN-HABIT surveys above, our EU partner, Eurhonet, is gathering Innovative, Inclusive, and Integrated Housing Practices.

The goal is to identify and showcase inspiring initiatives that promote independent living, community inclusion, and accessible, social, and affordable housing in Ireland at a national, regional, or local level.

We are looking for initiatives such as:

• Inclusive housing developments or building projects that promote accessibility and independent living.
• Innovative housing models, such as cooperative or community-based housing.
• Participatory practices involving people with disabilities in housing design or management.
• Services supporting independent living, developed by housing providers or in partnership with civil society organisations.
• Innovative approaches to tenant relations or community inclusion.
• Digital tools or solutions supporting accessibility, housing management, or service coordination.
• Inclusive policy development.

Submit Your Practice: If you have an Innovative Practice to share, please complete the short application form  here by Thursday, 30 April 2026.
