Since 2018, my Department has provided funding of €50,000 per annum to each local authority to support the work of a Vacant Homes Office. The funding is provided from July to June each year and 21 local authorities have drawn down the funding for the period July 2020 to June 2021.
The provision of central funding allows for focus to be given to the role of the Vacant Homes Office and reinforces the capacity of my Department’s Vacant Homes Unit to liaise with and seek information/statistics from a dedicated contact point within each local authority.
Each of the 31 local authorities has established a Vacant Homes Office and appointed a Vacant Homes Officer. The establishment of a Vacant Homes Office plays a key role in the co-ordination of tasks that support, implement and further develop, update, monitor and review the progress of local authorities’ Vacant Homes Action Plans and actions to address vacant private housing.
