Scaling housing and mental health support
In 2025, Housing Association for Integrated Living (HAIL) proudly celebrates its 40th anniversary, marking four decades of providing quality social housing and specialist mental health tenancy support across Ireland.
Since 1985, HAIL has worked to ensure that people with mental health difficulties can live independently in their communities. Over the years, we have seen how secure housing can be the foundation for mental health recovery and long-term stability.
Demand for our services continues to grow. In 2024, we supported our highest ever number of clients for the third consecutive year. Under our Strategic Plan 2024-2028, we are entering a new phase of growth, aiming to deliver 300 additional homes and expand our tenancy sustainment services to more local authority areas.
To support this, we are actively seeking partnerships and development opportunities with:
- property developers;
- estate agents;
- approved housing bodies;
- local authorities;
- community groups; and
- property owners.
We are interested in single-unit purchases, multi-unit schemes, turnkey developments, Part V opportunities, and refurbishment or repurposing of vacant buildings.
To lead this expansion, we are delighted to welcome Louise Heavin as HAIL’s new Head of Development. Louise brings extensive experience in delivering housing projects and will play a central role in helping us scale our impact.
Our mental health tenancy sustainment services, currently operating in 16 local authority areas, support people to maintain tenancies and live independently, whether in social housing or the private rented sector. Expanding this service nationally is a key goal for the years ahead.
As we reflect on 40 years of impact, we are also focused firmly on the future. We know that strong partnerships are vital to meeting the growing need for supported housing for people with mental health difficulties.
We invite developers, local authorities, housing bodies, and property owners to partner with us; to deliver homes, share opportunities, and support mental health recovery through secure, sustainable housing.
