View answerThe annual statutory Summary of Social Housing Assessments (SSHA) outlines details on the number of households qualified for social housing support in each local authority area. The purpose of the SSHA is to capture the total number of households qualified for social housing support across the country whose social housing need has not yet been met, in order to better understand the level of need for such support. The SSHA sets out the categories of need under which the households concerned have applied for social housing supports, including those with a disability and exceptional medical needs.
