There are currently 3,932 units operational in the Social Housing Leasing Initiative. A breakdown of these by housing authority area is provided in the table below. These include unsold affordable housing units along with units sourced by Approved Housing Bodies and Housing Authorities. Should a property owner decide to break their lease contract with a housing authority or approved housing bodies, which can only occur in limited circumstances under the terms of a long term lease, housing authorities will work with both the owners and the tenants in these cases in an effort to source alternative accommodation as quickly as possible.
A number of delivery mechanisms are available to Housing Authorities to meet the housing need of people they deem in need of housing. Delivery of social housing has been significantly facilitated through more flexible funding models such as social leasing, but the Government is also committed to developing other funding mechanisms that will increase the supply of permanent new social housing, including an on-going engagement with NAMA from which 339 housing units have been completed or contracted to date.
