Written answers

Since the introduction of the Voids Programme in 2014, some 9,227 vacant units were returned to productive use. Details on the number of voids, derelicts and 2 into 1s brought back into use are set out in the following table. The purpose of the voids programme is to ensure that vacant units are actively targeted and returned to productive use as quickly as possible. Without substantial refurbishment under construction contracts, these social homes would have been left vacant and not part of the active social housing stock.
