Housing for All (published in September 2021) supercedes the Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness (published in July 2016) and provided a new housing plan for Ireland to 2030 with the overall objective that every citizen in the State should have access to good quality homes through a steady supply of housing in the right locations, with economic, social and environmental sustainability built into the system.

Last November Government approved new national housing targets up to the year 2030. 303,000 homes are expected to be delivered in the period from 2025 to 2030, equating to an annual average of 50,500 homes, building up to 60,000 in 2030. The revised targets were informed by research and modelling by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) on population projections and long-run housing demand, which was published during the summer.

In terms of social and affordable housing delivery comprehensive data on social and affordable housing delivery activity is published on my Department's website up to Quarter 3 2024: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/.

My Department also publishes the Social Housing Construction Status Report (CSR), which provides details of social housing developments, including Public Private Partnerships, and their location that have been completed, are under construction or are progressing through the various stages of the design and tender processes. The most recent publication was for Quarter 3 2024. All Construction Status Reports are available at the following link: .
