Budget 2024 provides for continued record investment in Housing with €4.25 billion in Exchequer funding for the delivery of housing programmes, comprising capital funding of €2.6 billion and current funding of €1.5 billion. The Capital provision of €2.6 billion will be supplemented by Land Development Agency (LDA) investment and Housing Finance Agency (HFA) lending resulting in an overall capital provision of over €5 billion in 2024.

The funding provision will support over 29,000 additional households in 2024, through meeting the social housing needs of over 23,000 households, including 9,300 new build social homes and supporting a further 6,400 households to buy or rent at an affordable price.

Social housing construction is delivered and funded through a range of Local Authority and Approved Housing Body (AHB) delivery streams, i.e. direct construction, Turnkey developments, Part V, Public Private Partnership and Regeneration programmes.
