Éirígí South Dublin activists brought the 'Vultures Out!' message to Richmond Homes building sites in Sandyford and Kilmacud at the weekend.
Richmond Homes are the building wing of Avestus Capital, a vulture fund that already owns hundreds of homes in Leopardstown, Dún Laoghaire and other locations.
Over 600 new homes are planned for the two sites which were targeted with Vultures Out! posters. All 600 homes are being built as 'Build To Rent' homes that will be permanently owned by private corporations who will rent them out at extortionate rates to desperate families.
The alternative to this madness is a new form of housing called UP Housing (Universal Public Housing). Under an UP Housing system, EVERYBODY would be able to rent a home from their local authority paying an affordable rent linked to their income.
Éirígí has been to the fore of the fight for housing justice, campaigning for UP Housing since 2016. You can find out more about UP Housing on our website.
