Adaptation Works: In 2018, the City Council tendered for the construction of 33 disabled persons extensions to City Council social housing units at various locations throughout the City. Tenders were invited and works have been completed. A further 26 extensions are now under construction. Old Whitechurch Road – LIHAF funding has been secured for the delivery of infrastructure to facilitate the delivery of around 600 new homes on this site. Consultants for the design of the infrastructure for the site were appointed in November 2017. The Part 8 permission for the progression of the infrastructural works was approved by An Chomhairle in January 2019. An advance works contract commenced on site in December 2019. The main works have been tendered and the tenders are under review, with the works due for commencement on site in early 2020. In November 2018, Cork City Council won a Chambers Ireland Excellence Award in the Local Authority Innovation category for the Bishopsgrove Project, marking the second year running that the Housing Directorate has won in this category, having last year achieved the honour for its work on the Competitive Dialogue procurement process. Managed by Cork Foyer Project, Bishopsgrove Supported Student Accommodation, comprising of 39 modern and secure purpose-built accommodation bed spaces, located close to Cork Institute of Technology accepted its first students in June 2017, and acts as a sister project to the Cork Foyer, allowing young people who have progressed well in a homeless service to escape the cycle of homelessness through third level education. The collaborative project between Cork Foyer, TUSLA and Focus Ireland is the first model of its kind in the state.
