In 2007, Mr Batt O’Keeffe TD, the Minister for Housing, Urban Renewal and Developing Areas published a report of a study commissioned by the Affordable Homes Partnership (AHP) on Increasing Affordable Housing Supply.
The Minister had asked the AHP to consider how the range of existing affordable housing mechanisms might be improved or expanded by new initiatives to increase supply, accelerate delivery, improve access and affordability and deliver value for money for any associated resources required.
The resultant report contains the recommendations relating to six main areas, as follows:
- The strategic planning and management of delivery.
- Improving delivery through existing mechanisms.
- The provision of a standard affordable housing product (shared equity).
- Removal of the time-limit on the clawback mechanism.
- Management of the stock of affordable housing.
- Involvement of the private financial institutions.
