Housing Alliance welcomes increased housing investment in the revised National Development Plan
A delegation from the Housing Alliance met this week with Minister James Browne T.D. following publication of the revised National Development Plan
The Housing Alliance is a collaboration of the seven largest Approved Housing Bodies in Ireland.
Together, they manage over 45,000 social and affordable homes. Our member AHBs have the capacity to deliver more than 25,000 more social and affordable homes over the next 3 years, representing more than half of the government’s target for social homes.
To achieve this, it is essential that government:
- Provides sustainable multi-annual funding to enable AHBs deliver more homes.
- Fast-track the approvals process in line with the Programme for Government pledge to introduce a “single stage process for all standardised social and affordable housing projects”.
- Change the funding model for social homes by replacing the current CALF loans with a government equity stake.
Our AHBs are trusted partners with government and Local Authorities. They have decades-long experience of addressing the needs of homeless families and aspiring homeowners.
They can do even more to help address the national housing crisis.
