I propose to take Questions Nos. 1096, 1136, 1140, 1196, 1201, 1209, 1211, 1218 and 1219 together.

Housing for All sets out the range of actions necessary to increase the supply of housing out to 2030 including 54,000 affordable homes to be delivered by local authorities, Approved Housing Bodies, the Land Development Agency and through the First Home Scheme, which is a strategic partnership between the State and retail banks.

Funding under the various affordable housing streams is made available on a programme basis in support of approved affordable homes delivery, rather than by allocations to counties.

Local authorities have published 5 year Housing Delivery Action Plans setting out affordable housing delivery targets up to 2026. These plans mainly relate to planned delivery for which the local authority is directly responsible and do not always include additional affordable homes that will be delivered by the Land Development Agency (LDA), Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) and via the higher Part V requirements introduced in the Affordable Housing Act 2021. Each local authority’s plan can be accessed on the local authority’s official website.

My Department publishes comprehensive programme-level statistics on affordable housing delivery activity by local authorities and delivery partners in each local authority area. Data for the years 2022 and 2023 and for the first quarter of 2024 is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website at the following link:

The Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) is open and available to support all local authorities to address identified affordable housing needs in their key urban areas. Such needs are taken to exist where it can be demonstrated that some new households being formed would not be able to access housing for purchase or rent in their local authority area at prices/rents affordable to them.

The Housing Delivery Coordination Office of the Local Government Management Agency and the resources of the Housing Agency are available to advise and support local authorities in the development of their social and affordable housing delivery programmes.
