632. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the average cost of SHIP construction units in each local authority for 2018 and 2019, in tabular form. [33330/20]
View answerThe average costs for the delivery of social homes through the local authority capital construction programme for 2018 and 2019 are set out in the table below. These averages reflect the full delivery or 'all-in' costs, therefore in addition to construction costs, they also include costs such as land, design team fees, utilities, legal and professional fees, etc. As averages, it's important to note that a range of dwelling types at various costs are covered. In delivering new social homes under this programme local authorities are cognisant of the need to balance the delivery of a range of new homes to meet the diverse needs of households on their social housing list with value for money considerations.
All project proposals by local authorities are considered by my Department in this context and taking account of the unit cost ceilings for each local authority.
My Department is also working with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on a Spending Review of the Social Housing Build programme for the period 2016-2019, a report on which is expected to be published later this year.

The Programme for Government commits to increasing the social housing stock by over 50,000 over the next five years, with an emphasis on new builds, and to ensuring that local authorities are central to delivering housing. Since taking up office, this commitment has been my key priority and focus. This is evidenced in the recently announced Budget 2021 which provides record funding for housing, an overall investment of €3.3 billion, that will support the delivery of 12,750 new homes, 9,500 of which will be delivered through build programmes.
