Dublin City Council has selected five possible sites to house Ireland's first modular homes.
22 are to be delivered by the end of the year with another 128 to be fast-tracked soon after.
The prefabricated houses will be located in Poppintree in Ballymun, Mourne Road in Crumlin, Belcamp Avenue in Coolock, St Helena's drive in Finglas and Cherry Orchard in Ballyfermot.
It is not yet clear how many homes will go on the proposed sites.
Independent Councillor for Dublin's North Inner City Christy Burke says it is a temporary measure for a very serious problem;
Proposed sites;
Poppintree, Ballymun - 22 units
Mourne Rd, Crumlin - 29 units
Belcamp Avenue - 38 units
St. Helenas Drive, Finglas - 40 units
Cherry Orchard - 24 units
