Housing for All was published 2 September 2021 and the Government published its first annual update of the plan's actions on 2 November 2022. Progress :reports are published quarterly. The ninth of these reports, covering progress in Q3 2023, is due for publication in the coming weeks along with the second annual update of the plan’s actions. These reports can be accessed at www.gov.ie/en/collection/9d2ee-housing-for-all-quarterly-progress-reports/.
Under Housing for All, the supply of new homes is increasing. In the first nine months of this year, nearly 22,500 new homes were delivered, a 9% increase on the same period last year. Some 31,500 homes were completed in the year to end-September 2023, the third quarter in a row the rolling 12-month completions have surpassed 30,000. The level of completions to date suggests we’re on course to meet, if not exceed, the overall target of 29,000 new homes for 2023.
