Housing for All- a New Housing Plan for Ireland is the Government’s housing policy to 2030. Comprehensive information regarding Government housing schemes and accompanying options is available online on our dedicated webpage at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/dfc50-housing-for-all/. This includes an area named ‘available supports’ which provides information and further supports on a number of key schemes and initiatives introduced since the publication of Housing for All.

Detailed progress reports are published quarterly. The seventh of these reports, covering progress in Q1 2023, was published on 25 April. These reports can be accessed on www.gov.ie/en/collection/9d2ee-housing-for-all-quarterly-progress-reports/

The Department also regularly communicates the details of available schemes via its various social media channels. Additionally, we have promoted a number of schemes via multi-media (including print, broadcast and digital) public information campaigns and we are currently planning further advertising to publicise other schemes.
