My Department publishes a wide range of housing statistics, including data on the number of social housing units provided broken down by area and year. The statistics concerned are available on my Department’s website at http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/StatisticsandRegularPublications/HousingStatistics/FileDownLoad,15291,en.xls.

I expect the final output across all social housing programmes for 2014 to be in the region of 5,000 new housing units as set out in the following table.

Delivery method

Number

Rental Accommodation Scheme

2,500

Leasing, including:

400 NAMA sourced properties and

350 Mortgage to Rent Scheme

1,200

Deinstitutionalisation Programme -

new Units for people with disability leaving institutional care

150

Social Housing Investment Programme (new homes)

200

Units for People with Special Housing Needs under Capital Assistance Scheme (new homes)

175

Social Housing Stimulus Programme

500

As regards 2015 and 2016, the number and method of delivery of social housing units in those years will be determined in the respective estimates process for the years in question in the light of available resources.
