Under Rebuilding Ireland, all local authorities including Kildare County Council, have funding available to them to deliver new social homes through a variety of delivery programmes.  This has included agreements with developers to complete new homes and deliver them to the local authority on a ‘turnkey’ basis.  That option has been utilised by many local authorities including Kildare County Council and it continues to be available to them.

Approved Housing Bodies with the approval of local authorities, also utilise these approaches for the delivery of new housing for those on the waiting lists.
