Affordable Housing
Affordable Housing
Meath County Council makes additional funding available to eligible applicants who are seeking to purchase a newly built home but need additional funding to bridge the gap between their mortgage and deposit to cover the entire cost of the home by way of taking an equity stake or share of the ownership of the property under the Affordable Housing Scheme.
Meath County Council currently has no affordable housing scheme open at present.
All new affordable schemes will be advertised in advance of the online application portal going live, on our website, on our social media platforms and in the Meath Chronicle.
