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 90,000 social homes by 2030. Housing for All is supported by an investment package of over €4bn per annum, through an overall combination of €12bn in direct Exchequer funding, €3.5bn in funding through the Land Development Agency and €5bn funding through the Housing Finance Agency. Under Housing for All, the Government will deliver 47,600 new build social homes and 3,500 social homes through long-term leasing in the period 2022-2026.

My Department publishes comprehensive programme level statistics on a quarterly basis on social housing delivery activity, including details by individual local authority, approved housing body delivery and acquisitions. This data is available to the end of 2021, and is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website, at the following link: gov.ie - Local Authority Housing Scheme Statistics (www.gov.ie). The breakdown of Part V social homes delivered in 2021 can be accessed via the link: gov.ie - Affordable housing and Part V statistics (www.gov.ie).

Of the 913 Part V units delivered in 2021, 57 were Part V leased units. The breakdown of these 57 Part V leased units is provided in the following table.
