Under Section 22 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 and associated Regulations, the allocation of social housing support to qualified households is a matter for the local authority concerned. As Minister, I am precluded from intervening in relation to the procedures followed, or decisions made, by housing authorities in the allocation of particular dwellings.
In relation to the Deputy's query regarding the allocation of new rapid build units, I understand that local authorities are currently allocating new rapid build units to qualified households in accordance with their allocation schemes. This includes allocating units to homeless families living in emergency accommodation, as well as to other households on their housing lists.
