Sinn Féin housing spokesman Eoin Ó Broin reacted to the update on Housing for All saying the social and affordable delivery targets were “never ambitious enough” and it is “worrying” that the numbers built so far this year have not been set out.
He argued that the Government is “a very long way off the 13,100 social and affordable homes promised”. He added: “This is no indication of the full-year output as the second half of the year traditionally shows much stronger delivery of social housing than the first half of the year.”Affordable housing is to be delivered in a number of ways including the First Home Scheme, local authority affordable purchase schemes and cost-rental projects.
The department expects will be in a position to begin reporting on affordable delivery in national quarterly statistics later this year.The Cabinet was told that the target of 29,000 homes being delivered next year remains the same but there will be review of current targets and projections when official census 2022 data is available by mid-2023.
