Housing for All: A New Housing Plan for Ireland (September 2021) is a whole-of-Government Plan, and includes a detailed set of actions, across each of the four pathways to a sustainable, housing system. Each action has an agreed delivery timeframe and is assigned a lead actor with responsibility for implementation.

In terms of progress to date, of a total 213 actions in Housing for All, 135 have now either been completed or are being delivered on an ongoing basis. Importantly, a comprehensive implementation and reporting framework is well established to assess how the actions under Housing for All are working. This implementation framework includes political oversight, via the Cabinet Sub-Committee on Housing, the Housing for All Secretary General Delivery Group, and dedicated Workstreams, all of which monitor delivery of the Plan and recommend adjustment to priorities, as required, on an ongoing basis. To date, three detailed quarterly progress reports have been published and can be accessed on the dedicated Housing for All webpage,www.gov.ie/en/collection/9d2ee-housing-for-all-quarterly-progress-reports/#

In line with action 30.7, the Plan will be updated on an annual basis, including timelines, and responsibilities, to sustain momentum on delivery during its lifetime. The first review is due for completion by end Q4 2022, and will be published thereafter. It will be completed by my Department, in close cooperation with the Department of the Taoiseach.
