Affordable Housing - Expression of Interest in County Clare for Building Contractors and Housing Developers
Clare County Council is seeking expressions of interest for the provision of turnkey housing developments by housing developers and building contractors for delivery of affordable housing across County Clare
This call is targeted at advance purchase opportunities for a minimum of 10 dwellings in any one scheme. Please note that Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 as amended applies. Joint venture arrangements that include an Approved Housing Body (AHB) will also be considered.
How Clare County Council can help you in this process

The AHF funding is dependent on several criteria and 3 funding limits. Please refer to the below table.

Dwellings in schemes with a net density of over 35 dwellings and under 50 dwellings per hectare in all urban areas | €75,000 |
Dwellings in schemes with a net density of less than 35 dwellings per hectare | €50,000 |
