Respond: Delivering over 1,400 homes across Ireland

Respond, the Approved Housing Body and community services provider, has a building programme in excess of €1 billion and delivers homes in 15 to 18 months from commencement on site at an average cost of less than €300,000 including site and all other costs, based on the homes in its current building programme.

These homes are newly constructed lifetime homes delivered on fixed price contracts, adding to the national housing stock. Respond currently have 1,484 homes in construction on site and say that they have the potential to significantly increase their delivery based on their additional construction pipeline for commencement between the remainder of 2021 and the first quarter of 2023, which marks the end of the organisation’s current strategic plan.

These are a selection of Respond’s newest developments. All of these homes were supported by the Capital Advance Leasing Facility from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, private finance from the Housing Finance Agency and in partnership with the local authorities.
