View answerMy Department publishes programme level statistics on a quarterly basis on social housing delivery activity. This data is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website, at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/. This provides information for a number of categories of social housing delivery and also contains the targets for each local authority during each year of the programme.
In addition, Offaly County Council’s Housing Delivery Action Plan, which sets out details of their proposed social housing delivery for the period 2022-2026, is available on the Council’s website at www.offaly.ie/app/uploads/Council/Publications_Reports/Annual-Service-Delivery-Plan-2022.pdf.
The Council has a social housing delivery target of 440 construction units over the period 2022 to 2026 and 67 units for 2023.
