Overview
- The plan, Delivering Homes, Building Communities (2025–2030), targets at least 300,000 homes by 2030, including support for 90,000 starter homes and a stated 72,000 social homes.
- It projects roughly €20 billion in development finance needed each year, with the State committing over €9 billion for housing in 2026 via the Exchequer, the LDA and the Housing Finance Agency.
- An additional €2.5 billion for the Land Development Agency is reported as agreed by the Finance Minister to deliver 14,000 homes by 2029, with drawdown subject to Cabinet approval and a potential total LDA budget of €8.75 billion.
- Short‑term measures include about €100 million to acquire second‑hand homes to move long‑stay families out of emergency accommodation, alongside a new prevention framework.
- Delivery levers include greater use of compulsory purchase, grants to bring vacant homes and shops back into use with a reported 20,000‑unit target, and commitments to cut planning and legal delays.
