Co-operative Housing Ireland (CHI) is the national organisation representing, promoting and developing co-operative housing in Ireland. Since its foundation in 1973, CHI has provided over 8,000 homes through home-ownership, shared ownership and social rented co-operatives. Today, we own and manage more than 5,000 social-rented homes. Having increased our output year-on-year, we are delivering 500–700 houses and apartments annually. Driven by the co-operative principles we are leaders in social housing provision.
                 
As one of the leading national voices for cooperation in Ireland we collaborate with other co-operative organisations to promote our model. We are members of the Community and Voluntary Pillar of Social Partnership and participate in numerous forums on housing and social policy. Internationally, we are members of Housing Europe and the International Cooperative Alliance, including its sector groups; Cooperatives Europe and Co-operative Housing International. 
 
Co-operative Housing Ireland is an Approved Housing Body and registered charity. We have signed the Voluntary Regulation Code for Approved Housing Bodies, the Governance Code and the Canadian 2020 Vision standard for governance in housing co-operatives. We also hold the Q Mark for quality management systems and in 2015 received a national Q Mark award. 

 The Society was founded as the National Association of Building Co-operatives (NABCO) Society Ltd. and changed its name to Co-operative Housing Ireland Society Ltd. in accordance with the requirements of the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts 1893 – 2014 in 2015.
