Housing for All, is the Government’s plan to increase the supply of housing to an average of 33,000 per year over the next decade. This includes the delivery of 90,000 social homes by 2030. Housing for All is supported by an investment package of over €4bn per annum, through an overall combination of €12bn in direct Exchequer funding, €3.5bn in funding through the Land Development Agency and €5bn funding through the Housing Finance Agency.

My Department publishes comprehensive programme level statistics on a quarterly basis on social housing delivery activity. Data to the end of Quarter 2 2022 is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website, at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/

My Department also publishes the Social Housing Construction Status Report (CSR). The CSR provides details of social housing developments that have been completed, are under construction or are progressing through the various stages of the design and pre-tender process. The most recent publication was for Q2 2022. The report is available at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/publication/5a259-social-housing-construction-projects-status-report-q2-2022/.

A version of this file is available to download for analysis at Social Housing Construction Status Report Q2 2022 - Dataset - Dept of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

The Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP) budget funds the ongoing current costs of social homes delivered using a variety of different delivery streams. This includes properties built or acquired by Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) using funding under the Capital Advance Leasing Facility (CALF) and the Housing Agency Acquisitions Fund (HAA), which are then made available under a Payment & Availability Agreement to local authorities. It also includes properties leased on a long term basis from private property owners by AHBs or local authorities; comprising properties secured through specific programs such as the Repair and Leasing Scheme (RLS), the Long Term Leasing Scheme and the Mortgage to Rent Scheme. Dwellings made available under SHCEP are used to accommodate households from local authority waiting lists.

Under Housing for All, social housing targets have been set out to 2026, with Long Term Leasing expected to finish by year end 2025.

A breakdown of social housing delivery by scheme and by local authority location for Q1 and Q2 2022 combined can be found on my Department's website at the following link:

Delivery data for Q3 2022 is being collated at present and will be published as soon as that process is finalised.

The average annual cost associated with each leasing delivery stream is listed as of the end of Q2 2022 in table 1 below:
