Cabhrú WAS incorporated in 1965 by a group of volunteers to provide housing for older people in the Dublin area.

Cabhrú follows the Code of Practice for Good Governance for charitable organisations and complies with the Statement for Recommended Practice (SORP) for Charities where appropriate. We have signed up to the Voluntary Regulation Code for Approved Housing Bodies as issued by the Voluntary Housing regulator. Cabhrú have been granted Certified Body Status by the Housing Finance Agency (HFA)

Cabhrú works towards achieving the highest quality standards of governance, compliance and management of the organisation. Cabhrú is managed by a voluntary Board of Directors who are responsible for providing leadership to the organisation.

The Board reviews and approves the strategic and operational plans, annual budgets and long-term financial plans, company policies and procedures, monitors performance and approves capital expenditure and investment decisions.

The Board meets regularly as required.
There are two Sub-Committees of the Board:

• Finance & Risk Sub-Committee

• Maintenance & Development Sub-Committee
