The Cork Student Housing Co-op is more than just a housing project: it’s a movement.

We’re building a future where students are no longer priced out, pushed aside, or forced into substandard living. Our mission is to create affordable, sustainable, and student-led housing that puts people before profit.

In our co-operative, students won’t just rent a room: they own their space, shape their community, and live with dignity.

We are committed to:

• Democracy – every member has a voice and a vote

• Sustainability – from how we live to how we build

• Inclusivity – a home for all, not just the few

• Community – where support, solidarity, and shared responsibility thrive

Together, we’re proving that another way is possible.

The Cork Student Housing Co-op's mission is to introduce students to the co-operative housing model and offer a hands-on, real-life experience of living in a space that is collaborative, sustainable, and community-led.

We believe that housing should be:

• Affordable – not a source of stress or exploitation

• Democratic – where every voice matters

• Empowering – giving students the tools to shape their future

• Transformative – creating ripples of change far beyond our walls

By putting people before profit, we’re creating a resilient, inclusive alternative to the broken rental system; one that fosters dignity, solidarity, and long-term social justice.

This is more than housing. This is student power in action.
