‘Housing for All – a New Housing Plan for Ireland’ is the government’s housing plan to 2030.
It is a multi-annual, multi-billion euro plan which will improve Ireland’s housing system and deliver more homes of all types for people with different housing needs.
The government’s overall objective is that every citizen in the State should have access to good quality homes:
- To purchase or rent at an affordable price
- Built to a high standard, and;
- In the right place offering a high quality of life.
The government’s vision for the housing system over the longer term is to achieve a steady supply of housing in the right locations with economic, social and environmental sustainability built into the system.
It is estimated that Ireland will need an average of 33,000 new homes to be provided each year from 2021 to 2030.
The policy has four pathways to achieving housing for all:
- Supporting home ownership and increasing affordability eradicating homelessness,
- Increasing social housing delivery and supporting social inclusion,
- Increasing new housing supply addressing vacancy, and;
- Efficient use of existing stock
The pathways contain actions to be taken by government departments, local authorities, State agencies and others. The pathways are supported by actions to enable a sustainable housing system.
Housing for All contains 213 actions which will deliver a range of housing options for individuals, couples and families.
