Project Background

The Government’s “Housing for All” plan aims to increase the use of PPPs to deliver social housing.

The Social Housing PPP Programme is designed to deliver:

• social housing developments via project ‘bundles’ of sites;
• the provision of services to the developments over a 25 year period following construction that will include the maintenance and upkeep of the housing and tenancy management services; and
• the return of the developments to the relevant local authorities after 25 years in a pre-defined condition.

The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage is the approving authority for the programme with the NDFA as financial advisor, procuring authority and project manager, working closely with the relevant local authorities.

Bundles 4 currently comprise c. 700 homes across 7 sites in Dublin and Kildare.

All homes in the first and second bundles have been delivered. Bundle 3 is currently in the tender stage, and planning permission has been granted for all sites in the bundle. Bundles 5, 6 and 7 are in pre-procurement. Further details on these project bundles are available below:
