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.
My Department publishes comprehensive programme level statistics on a quarterly basis on social housing delivery activity. Data on the Repair and Leasing scheme in respect of all local authorities to end Q3 2022 is published on my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/#repair-and-leasing-scheme-rls. This includes the number of units delivered by each local authority to end Q3 2022 and the number of applications since the launch of the scheme.

Under Housing for All, Buy & Renew is a key element in tackling vacancy and dereliction. The Buy & Renew scheme supports local authorities in purchasing and renewing vacant housing units in need of repair, which can then be made available for social housing use. Details of the number of Buy & Renew units acquired by each local authority in 2022 are set out below. Data on the number of applications made may be available directly from local authorities. My Department is working to support increased Buy and Renew activity in local authorities.
