Kilkenny Voluntary Housing Association (KVHA) clg, trading as Tar Isteach Housing was formed in 2019 as a voluntary housing association. Tar Isteach Housing works closely with its sister organisation the Good Shepherd Centre Kilkenny (GSCK) to provide longer term housing and tenancies with additional supports. We share a common value structure, some shared resources and staff and operate through an MOU between both organisations.

Our mission is centered around providing quality and affordable housing with support to enable our residents achieve social inclusion.

We are currently building a dynamic and committed board to help grow our organisation and guide our mission in supporting those experiencing homelessness in the areas where we have a presence.

Ideally, we are looking for someone who is strategic, passionate about community, housing solutions and interested in co-creating innovative approaches to delivering our services to those most in need.

Prior board experience is very welcome but not essential. We value diverse voices and experiences that reflect the communities we serve and particularly welcome applications from demographics that are not represented on our board presently. Currently we are looking for board members in the following areas:

1. Trustee with Property Management Experience for Tar Isteach Housing

2. Trustee with Governance & Risk Management Experience for Tar Isteach Housing

3. Trustee with Legal Experience for Tar Isteach Housing

4. Trustee with Finance Experience for Tar Isteach Housing
