| dc.description | Under Rebuilding Ireland, the Government has committed more than €6 billion to support the accelerated
delivery of over 138,000 additional social housing homes to be delivered by end 2021. This will include
83,760 HAP homes, 3,800 RAS homes and over 50,000 new homes, broken down as follows:
Build: 33,617; Acquisition: 6,830; Leasing: 10,036.
It should be noted that, in the context of the review of Rebuilding Ireland and the refocussing of the social
housing delivery programme to direct build, the number of newly constructed and built homes to be
delivered by 2021 has increased significantly with overall delivery increasing from 47,000 new homes to
over 50,000. This has also resulted in the rebalancing of delivery under the construction programme from
26,000 to 33,617 with acquisition targets moving from 11,000 to 6,830. | en |
