One of the main outcomes of the Housing Summit with local authority Chief Executives held in early 2018 was a commitment to drive greater transparency and accountability at local level for the delivery of social housing, including the publication of detailed targets for each local authority at a high level for the remaining 4 years of Rebuilding Ireland, and then broken down into the primary delivery mechanisms of build, acquisition, leasing, HAP and RAS.

Delivery against these targets on a local authority basis for 2018 has recently been published on my Department's website and can be accessed at:

.

Targets for 2019 are currently being finalised and will be published shortly. Delivery against these targets will be tracked on a quarterly basis. Overall it is expected that some 27,360 additional housing supports will be delivered in 2019, through build, acquisition, leasing, HAP and RAS schemes.

Funding allocations are not notified to individual local authorities for the delivery of housing in a particular year. My Department provides the relevant funding to local authorities as their social housing delivery programmes and individual projects are advanced.
