View answerInformation on the number of households qualified for and in need of social housing support whose need has not been met is set out in the statutory Summary of Social Housing Assessments (SSHA) which, since 2016, is carried out annually.
The most recent assessment was carried out in 2017, full details of which are available on my Department's website, at the following link:
http://www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/publications/files/sha_summary_2017.pdf.
The SSHA for 2018 is currently in progress and I expect to be in a position to publish the report later in the year.
