Funding Announced For 55 New Social Homes In Wicklow

Funding is being allocated to address the social housing needs across the country, including significant investments in Wicklow.

These homes are part of a larger initiative to build 1,325 homes across 82 projects nationwide between 2025 and 2027, with 575 homes due to be delivered this year alone.

These new homes will be delivered over the coming years, helping to tackle the housing challenges faced by local communities.

This funding will allow Wicklow County Council and other local authorities to acquire second-hand homes that can quickly be brought into social housing stock.

The initiative prioritises tenant-in-situ acquisitions, helping to prevent homelessness, while also supporting older persons, people with disabilities, and those transitioning from homelessness services.
