My Department collects and publishes programme-level statistics on affordable housing delivery activity by local authorities and delivery partners in each local authority area. Data for the years 2022 up to Q4 2024 is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/?#affordable-housing-delivery.

Overall since the launch of Housing for All, nearly 13,000 affordable housing options have been delivered by a range of delivery partners including local authorities, Approved Housing Bodies, the Land Development Agency and through the First Home Scheme, the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant and the Cost Rental Tenant-in-Situ Scheme.

In addition, information on activity under the Local Authority Home Loan can be found at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/department-of-housing-local-government-and-heritage/collections/local-authority-loan-activity/.

Further information collected as part of the eligibility assessment for the various schemes is processed by the relevant scheme provider, authority or delivery partner in line with relevant data protection legislation, and is not reported by my Department.

To note, the Help-to-Buy initiative is a Revenue initiated scheme, for which the Revenue Commissioner is best placed to advise on.
