Deliver 12,000 new social homes per year

What this means

• The Irish government has committed to building an average of 12,000 new social homes per year through local authorities and approved housing bodies.[source]
• This commitment comes from the Programme for Government published on 23 January 2025 and is currently listed as in progress.[source]
• The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage is responsible for delivering on this commitment, led by Minister James Browne.[source]
• No specific deadline has been set for when the 12,000 homes per year target must be fully achieved, making progress tracking important for accountability.[source]
• Social homes are publicly funded homes for people who cannot afford private rents or mortgages, so this target directly affects some of the most vulnerable people in Ireland.[source]
