Housing is
a human right.

We work closely with renters experiencing housing problems while actively campaigning together to make lasting legislative change and to ensure everyone has a right to affordable, secure, suitable, and good quality housing. Housing is a human right. With the help of supporters who campaign with us and share our dedication to homeless prevention, we are building a fairer housing system for all.

Licensee Toolkit

A toolkit with resources we have created for those who frequently communicate with licensees. These resources are designed to help you engage with your licensee audiences, making them aware of their licensee status and aiding them in navigating their licence arrangement successfully.

We campaign for change

We advocate for private renters’ rights, pushing for policy changes that will make good-quality housing more secure and more affordable. View all Campaigns

Deposit Protection Scheme 

The unlawful retention of rental deposits is a far too common an issue that has a known solution. It is time that Ireland stops the uncertainty of what will happen with a renter’s money at the end of a tenancy by establishing a Deposit Protection Scheme.

Scamwatch

Finding rented accommodation can be challenging at the best of times. We have the Do's and Don't's on finding a home and avoiding scams.

We seek innovative solutions through quality research

Threshold's ground-breaking research is vital to understanding Ireland's acute housing problems, which informs our homelessness prevention work.
