Housing for All is the Government’s plan to increase the supply of housing to an average of 33,000 per year over the next decade. This includes the delivery of an average of 10,000 new social homes each year and 6,000 affordable homes. Under Housing for All, each local authority, including Dublin City Council were required to prepare a Housing Delivery Action Plan, setting out details of social and affordable housing delivery in the period 2022-2026. I received a plan from Dublin City Council in December 2021 and my Department is working with the Housing Delivery Coordination Office to review it, having regard to Housing for All targets and policy objectives. Housing Delivery Action Plans will be published in Quarter 2, following the conclusion of the review process.
Affordable purchase and Cost Rental schemes can be delivered by local authorities, Approved Housing Bodies and the Land Development Agency. As and when individual housing projects come on stream, the applications process for homes being made available will be managed by the body delivering the homes. As such, any queries in relation to affordable projects being delivered by Dublin City Council will be a matter for the Council.
