Under Housing for All, each local authority was required to prepare a Housing Delivery Action Plan, setting out details of social and housing affordable delivery in the period 2022-2026. This includes information on the locations where housing will be delivered in addition to information on the planned the delivery streams.

All local authorities submitted their Plan to me in December 2021. My Department is working with the Housing Delivery Coordination Office to review the Plans, having regard to the targets and policy objectives set out in Housing for All. The Plans will be published following the completion of the review.
