As the Deputy is aware the Housing for All Investment Workstream, chaired by the Department of Finance, was established to support the delivery of the Government's Housing for All plan. A key commitment of the Investment Workstream has been to advance the understanding of the funding landscape for the residential development. In 2023, the Department published a comprehensive report on the drivers of the cost and availability of finance for residential development ("Project Emerald" report) and continues to monitor the funding landscape on an ongoing basis.
The annual update of Housing for All, published in November 2023, included a priority action for the Investment Group to undertake stakeholder engagement and prepare an updated report on the availability, composition, and flow of finance for residential development.
I understand that the key findings from this updated report will be included in the Q1 2024 Housing for All Progress Update Report to be published in the coming weeks.
