Chief Executive of HBFI, Ms Dara Deering
Home Building Finance Ireland (HBFI), set up by the Government to fund the delivery of new homes, will outline its plans to fund more new homes in Louth and Meath at an upcoming stakeholder engagement event in Drogheda on Tuesday 28 March.
HBFI has already approved over €1.2bn to fund over 5,700 new homes in 21 counties across Ireland – including loan approval of 18 developments in Louth and Meath.
The breakfast event will include discussion on HBFI’s plans to fund additional homes in Louth and Meath and neighbouring areas and the application process. HBFI says it is very keen to hear from housebuilding firms that are active in these areas.
It is expected that event attendees will include representatives of housebuilding companies, developers, local authorities and other key industry figures in the region.
HBFI says its focus on Louth and Meath is part of its strategy of funding new homes in regional locations, to build on its success in funding developments in cities and commuter towns. While it has already funded projects in Drogheda, Dundalk and Kells, it is open to working on new projects both in these towns and in other areas in the region.
Ms Dara Deering, the Chief Executive of HBFI, said: "HBFI is committed to supporting the development of new homes in regional areas, such as Louth, Meath and neighbouring areas, to ensure that these areas can continue to grow and thrive.
"We know that lots of people want to buy new homes in the area and that’s why we want to provide the finance to make these homes a reality.
"Our stakeholder engagement event in Drogheda will provide a valuable opportunity for us to engage with local stakeholders and to discuss how we can work together to support the development of new homes in the region."
HBFI is encouraging housebuilding firms in the region to attend the event and to register by contacting them directly at 01 2384600 or by visiting the website, www.hbfi.ie, where they can learn about the finance it can provide for new homes. The event takes place at the Glenside Hotel, Dublin Rd, Drogheda on the morning of Tuesday 28 March 2023.
