DownloadThis Section provides detail on Social Housing delivery across all streams under Rebuilding Ireland – Build, Acquisition, Leasing, HAP and RAS.
The Social Housing Output Overview tables for 2016 and 2017 have been revised following a review of the data presentation of delivery outputs. The revised tables present outputs under the Rebuilding Ireland: An Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness 2016-2021 delivery streams of Build, Acquisition and Leasing along with HAP and RAS which is consistent with the discrete annual targets set out under Pillar 2 of the Action Plan This is a move away from presenting the data grouped by funding stream and programme. The revised presentation aims to provide clarity in relation to LA delivery and AHB delivery under each delivery stream.
The LA New Build output figures consolidates all local authority new unit construction activity, including units delivered by traditional construction, rapid build, turnkey, regeneration and Part V units, but do not include the number of void local authority units brought back into use through local authority construction activity; these are included in the All Build output figure which represents all construction activity undertaken by local authorities and approved housing bodies (AHBs) to increase the supply of social housing.

DownloadA range of housing options are necessary to ensure a supply of accommodation to meet different types of social housing need. In addition to their traditional build and acquisition delivery programmes, local authorities also deliver social housing by leasing houses and apartments from private owners and allocating them to tenants from their social housing lists.
Leased properties can be sourced from a range of different sources - including direct leasing by local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies, the Mortgage to Rent Scheme, the Repair and Leasing Scheme (RLS) and the newer Enhanced Leasing Scheme - and have the potential to provide faster and more flexible delivery than traditional delivery methods. Of the 50,000 social homes to be delivered under Rebuilding Ireland out to 2021, over 10,000 will be leased by AHBs and LAs.

DownloadThe Repair and Leasing Scheme (RLS) was established under Pillar 5 of Rebuilding Ireland to harness the accommodation potential that exists in certain vacant properties around the country. Subject to the suitability of the property for social housing the scheme provides for the cost of any necessary repairs to a vacant dwelling to be met upfront by the local authority or AHB. The property owner then enters into a lease arrangement with the local authority or AHB and the value of the repairs is offset incrementally against the agreed rental payment over a defined period within the lease. Properties in RLS are counted in the Department’s delivery output under Leasing.
