Breakdown of properties identified by NAMA

Of the 2,569 properties completed to date, 129 houses and 293 apartments were delivered across seven separate developments with mix of social and private rented homes. The properties were purchased or leased by three AHBs with assistance from the Department through the social housing current expenditure programme for 315 properties with the remaining 107 rented on the private market, thus ensuring sustainable mixed-tenure developments.  These projects in Carlow, Cork, Dublin, Galway and Laois provide a good illustration of sustainable housing policy in practice; a policy which aims to provide a balanced sustainable mix between social and private housing within a community.
