Minister O’Brien said, “I was delighted to give approval today to these 25 much-needed affordable homes under the Affordable Housing Fund. Increasing homeownership is a priority for this Government and we will significantly scale up our pace of delivery.

“Our ‘Housing for All’ plan sets us on a pathway to delivering 54,000 affordable homes to purchase and rent by the end of 2030 and reflects our priority of creating a long-term sustainable housing system.

“I know just how acutely the affordability constraints are felt by people, both young and not so young, and the struggle they face in finding a home in their locality. We have put affordability at the heart of this Government’s housing plans and this year will see a significant ramping up of affordable homes for sale and rent – something which we have not seen in this country in over a decade,” he concluded.
