Amharc ar fhreagraAs part of the NDP Review Government allocated €1bn over 2026 to 2030 toward the new Housing Infrastructure Investment Fund (HIIF). The Fund is managed by the Housing Activation Office in my Department.
A total of 138 applications were received under Call 1 of the fund from 30 Local Authorities and the Land Development Agency. Following a detailed assessment process, 82 projects have been approved for inclusion in the HIIF programme under Call 1.

The programme is multi-annual in nature reflecting Government’s allocation under the NDP Review. HIIF funding will be allocated on annual basis through the annual Estimates process, having regard to project progress and in line with the progression of projects through delivery stages. This approach ensures that investment under the HIIF is planned and delivered in a structured, sustainable and multi-annual manner, while maintaining momentum in addressing critical infrastructure constraints to accelerate housing supply.
