View answerHousing 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, 36,000 affordable purchase homes and 18,000 cost rental homes in the period 2022-2030. 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. Budget 2022 provided €2.6bn in capital funding to support housing programmes in 2022. This includes €1.56bn for local authority housing, which supports local authorities to delivery new build social homes and social housing acquisitions. Under the funding arrangements in place, local authorities are fully recouped for expenditure incurred in the delivery of new build social homes and acquisitions.
