CATU

CATU was founded in Dublin in 2019 by a few dozen tenants, to help share resources and skills to empower themselves and their neighbours facing eviction, homelessness and housing precarity... Many of CATU's founding members had spent a decade organising against evictions, dereliction, the fire sale of public land, the destruction of public services and the collapse of the housing market following the 2008 Banking Crash. Sharing experiences across the likes of the Apollo House protest, Home Sweet Home, Summerhill Occupation, Take Back The City, and Right2Water campaigns, these activists realised a longer-term strategy was needed to build community power and take on the Housing Crisis, and so CATU was formed... CATU is for single parents facing unjust evictions, it's for students priced out of accommodation, as well as for older council tenants in need of vital property renovations. CATU is for private renters, battling mould in their overpriced accommodation while facing endless rent..
