90. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage further to Parliamentary Question No. 372 of 17 November 2020, the actions taken to date, the interim outcomes, the recommendations made and the final decision in relation to income eligibility for social housing supports in each local authority area. [59209/21]
View answerHousing for All – A New Housing Plan for Ireland was published in September 2021 and, among other things, commits to reviewing income eligibility for social housing. The review is currently underway and is examining the efficiency of the banding model, its application to local authorities and, equivalisation as between singles and families. The review is also having regard to new initiatives being brought forward in terms of affordability and Cost Rental.
I intend the review to be completed before the end of the year and a decision on any recommended actions or changes arising to be taken thereafter.
