Written answers

The new Programme for Government, identifies the need to avoid over-concentration of particular housing types in areas, by requiring local authorities to complete housing need and demand assessments to inform delivery of an appropriate mix of housing typologies to cater for the needs of disparate household types and sizes. 

Further to this, my Department will continue to monitor the operation of the Sustainable Urban Housing Guidance with regard to co-living, which will also be informed by the work of a Commission on Housing that will be established under the Programme for Government, to examine issues that will include tenure, standards, sustainability and quality of life in the provision of housing.
