I propose to take Questions Nos. 136 and 159 together.
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.
The table below sets out the targets per year under Housing for All.
| Tenure | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Social homes | 9,000 | 9,100 | 9,300 | 10,000 | 10,200 | 10,200 | 10,200 | 10,200 | 10,200 |
| Affordable & Cost Rental homes | 4,100 | 5,500 | 6,400 | 6,400 | 6,100 | 6,300 | 6,400 | 6,300 | 6,300 |
