164. Deputy Martin Browne asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will provide an estimated completion date for the review of income eligibility for social housing (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49217/21]
View answerAs part of the broader social housing reform agenda, a review of income eligibility for social housing supports in each local authority area is underway.
As set out in "Housing for All - a New Housing Plan for Ireland", the efficiency of the banding model and its application to local authorities will be considered. Equivalisation as between singles and families will also be considered. The review will also have regard to new initiatives being brought forward in terms of affordability and Cost Rental housing and will be completed when the impacts of these parallel initiatives have been considered.
I intend that the review will be completed this year.
