682. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if Offaly County Council and Laois County Council have made applications under the affordable housing fund to support affordable housing purchase; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27311/23]
View answerThe Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) is available to assist all local authorities in bringing forward affordable housing schemes.
Following the publication of Housing for All in September 2021, I asked all local authorities to prepare Housing Delivery Action Plans. Each local authority was asked to assess the level of housing demand with affordability constraint projected for their area based on the Housing Need and Demand Assessment Tool and plan their provision accordingly. A copy of each Council’s Housing Delivery Action Plan, including those of Laois and Offaly, is available on their individual websites.
