Under my Department’s Social Housing Investment Programme, funding is available to all local authorities, to deliver additional social housing stock through both new construction projects and through the acquisition of new and previously-owned houses and apartments.

Details on the number of properties purchased by all local authorities for letting to those on their social housing waiting lists are available on my Department’s website at the following link: www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/attachments/1c1-la-acq-by-area_5.xlsx. Information on quarter four of 2016 is currently being finalised and will be published shortly.
