Families get keys to new Kildare social housing
The new homes at Magee Quarter
FAMILIES and individuals have begun getting keys for their homes in Kildare town.
Approved housing body Clúid say 30 individuals and families will be moving into the newly built apartments and duplexes in Magee Quarter in Kildare Town.
The one- and two-bed apartments and the three-bed duplexes in the new mixed-tenure development of Magee Quarter will provide secure, affordable, long-term homes to 30 households from Kildare County Council’s housing list. The homes are A-rated so they will be economical to run, as well as providing high levels of comfort to the residents.
The homes were delivered by Clúid in partnership with Kildare County Council, the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, the Housing Finance Agency, Housing Agency and Formation Homes.
Averil Power, Chief Executive Officer, Clúid, commented:
“We’re delighted to welcome the new residents to Magee Quarter, Kildare Town. This latest scheme brings to 1,004 the number of Clúid homes in Kildare. Like all Clúid residents, the individuals and families who are beginning to move into the homes in Magee Quarter will benefit from Clúid’s maintenance, tenant support and community engagement services. We look forward to helping them put down roots and build their futures in a thriving new neighbourhood.”
The homes were developed by Formation Homes and are located in the heart of Kildare Town.
In partnership with Kildare County Council, Clúid is on track to deliver a further 147 homes in the county this year. As part of their own construction programme, Clúid will also be delivering at least 70 new-build homes in Kildare in the next two to three years.
