Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 November 2018
611. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of social homes to be delivered per year from 2022 up to the end of the National Development Plan 2018-2027 by build, acquired and leased, respectively. [46628/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraDetails of social housing targets, broken down by individual local authority, across build, acquisition and leasing, for the period 2018 to 2021 are available on the Rebuilding Ireland website at the following link:

The breakdown of social housing targets for the period beyond 2021 is not yet available but the targets will reflect the blend of delivery methods and approaches required to deliver on the targets set out in the National Development Plan 2018-2027, which provides for the delivery of 112,000 new social homes over the next decade. These 112,000 new social homes will be delivered through a range of mechanisms, including build, long term leasing and acquisitions.
It should be noted that the delivery of the 112,000 new social housing homes over the next decade does not include housing supports that will be provided to households under the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Scheme or the Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS), which will continue to offer additional flexible solutions to meet housing need.
