The government is aiming to have just 22 modular homes ready by Christmas.
The Environment Minister has again confirmed the approval of the delivery of 500 units of modular housing for homeless families across Dublin.
Alan Kelly said "the aim is to have an initial 22 units in place by December with a further 128 units to follow through a fast-tracked procurement."
350 units will then be provided through a national procurement framework overseen by the office for Government procurement.
Minister Kelly said "The housing market in Dublin was ruined during the recession and this sector is not recovering quickly enough to keep up with demand."
"Therefore, as a temporary measure while supply is coming on stream, I will be funding the delivery of 500 modular units for families in Dublin experiencing homelessness", he added.
