Modular housing in Donegal

Councillors in Donegal are advocating for government funding to provide modular homes for families affected by defective concrete blocks, highlighting the urgent need for temporary housing options as many residents face unsafe living conditions. In Toronto, the city is accelerating modular housing construction to increase supply and affordability, with plans to expand pre-qualified vendors and streamline approval processes, as stated by Coun. Brad Bradford. Meanwhile, New South Wales (NSW) is trialing modular homes in Wollongong and Lake Macquarie to address social housing shortages, with a $10 million investment aimed at overcoming regulatory barriers to expedite construction. Premier Chris Minns emphasized the need for non-traditional methods to provide more homes quickly, responding to predictions that a significant number of planned dwellings will not be completed. Additionally, there are calls for a housing coordinator in NSW to streamline processes and tackle planning challenges effectively. The overall push for modular housing across various regions indicates a growing recognition of its potential to alleviate housing crises and provide faster solutions.
