The Government is acutely aware of the housing challenges faced by many sectors of society. Housing for All is the most ambitious and comprehensive housing plan in the history of the State. The Plan contains a suite of actions that have and continue to increase the provision of housing through accelerating supply and increasing the affordability of homes for our citizens.

A list of affordable housing supports in place is available at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/0d279-doors-open/, this includes information on the schemes below.

• Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme

• First Home Scheme

• Local Authority Home Loan

• Local Authority Purchase and Renovation Loan

• Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant

• Help to Buy

These schemes are primarily aimed at supporting affordability constrained middle income earners and first-time buyers, including those who are self-employed.
