Clare County Council is on course to deliver 232 social and affordable homes this year, with the support of local developers and in partnership with Approved Housing Bodies.
As many as 195 social houses are earmarked to join the housing stock, with a further 37 affordable homes also coming on stream.
Construction is currently underway on 150 homes planned for delivery in 2026 in housing developments across the county including in Ennis, Kilrush, Doonbeg, Crusheen and Sixmilebridge, with additional projects planned for Ennis, Lisdoonvarna and Kilrush.
Construction is also currently underway on 27 developer-led affordable homes for planned delivery in 2026 in Ennis, Shannon and Tulla.
In addition, Clare County Council is progressing designs for the provision of affordable serviced sites in Lisdoonvarna and Feakle, planned for delivery in 2026 and 2027.
These new homes, combined with targeted acquisitions and leases, are expected to add significantly to the local housing stock by the end of the year, exceeding the Council’s targets of 167.
The local authority says this progress reflects a sustained effort to increase supply and provide quality homes for individuals and families in Clare.
