Under Housing for All, the Government will deliver 54,000 affordable homes, including 18,000 Cost Rental tenancies, to be facilitated by local authorities, Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs), the Land Development Agency (LDA), and through the First Home scheme, a strategic partnership between the State and retail banks.

To date over 3,000 affordable homes, including over 770 Cost Rental tenancies, have been delivered through our new Cost Rental schemes, the First Home Scheme and the Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme. This momentum will continue as the pipeline of affordable housing delivery is developed and expanded by all delivery partners, including local authorities, AHBs, the LDA, and First Home. Data for affordable housing delivery is published on a quarterly basis, similar to social housing delivery. This data is available up to Quarter 2 2023 and is published available at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/#affordable-housing-delivery.

Pursuant to Section 9 of S.I. No. 755/2021 Affordable Housing Act 2021 (Cost Rental Letting and Eligibility) Regulations 2021, Cost Rental landlords are directed to seek the efficient use of resources by allocating appropriately sized homes according to household needs. This direction is to ensure that landlords place tenants into homes of an appropriate size, in order to maximise the efficient use of the limited number of properties that have been available during the initial rollout of Cost Rental. These Cost Rental homes will accommodate a range of different household types and sizes, including single adult applicants and smaller households, as further developments are completed. The specific data requested in relation to single adult applicants is not held by my Department.
