Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 April 2022
680. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the breakdown, by local authority, of the affordable housing targets funded by the affordable housing fund from 2022 to 2026. [20842/22]
View answerNational affordable housing delivery targets were published in Housing for All for 2022 – 2030. Overall targets to 2030 include 54,000 affordable housing units. Within that, the target for affordable purchase homes is 36,000 dwellings, with a further 18,000 to be cost rental units. From 2022 to 2026, over 28,000 affordable homes are targeted for delivery.
The five-year 2022-2026 total target for local authority affordable delivery is 7,550 (excluding those dwellings expected to be delivered affordably under the terms of Part V agreements). This five-year target has been allocated to eighteen local authority areas, where the need for affordable housing is determined as being a sufficiently significant proportion of overall housing need, as per the table below.
In addition to this targeted local authority delivery, affordable purchase and cost rental homes will also be made available by Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) and the Land Development Agency (LDA) in these local authority areas as part of the overall affordable housing delivery commitment under Housing For All. Targets for affordable delivery by AHBs and the LDA were set nationally in consultation with AHB sector representatives and the LDA, having regard to projected delivery capacity.
