What is the housing for all scheme?

The “housing for all scheme” looks to increase housing supply, implement affordable buying and rental measures, initiatives aiming to reduce homlessness and mend the housing and planning systems in Ireland.

Since 2021 more than 54,000 new homes have either been built or have commenced building. Of the 50,000, 24,916 have been built and 29,343 have begun construction.  Last year 9,183 social homes were provided.

The 2022 budget has increased by 20%, with governments investment budget for 

housing at €4billion for 2022 and a further €4billion for 2023.

Part of the plan is the introduction of four affordable purchase initiatives

• A refused local authority home loan scheme
• The project Tosaigh scheme by the land development agency
