Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 December 2023
411. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage whether he will publish figures on the numbers of people on social housing lists longer than seven, eight, nine, ten years, and so on, respectively, by local authority administrative area, based on SSHA figures provided by local authorities. [54862/23]
View answerDetails on the number of households qualified for social housing support in each local authority administrative area is provided in the annual statutory Summary of Social Housing Assessments (SSHA). The most recently published summary for all counties, conducted in November 2022, is available at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/62486-summary-of-social-housing-assessments/
Details on the length of time spent on the record of qualified households (waiting lists) can be found at tables 2.8 and A1.8 of the report. It does not provide a breakdown of the number of years beyond the category of more than 7 years.
The SSHA exercise for 2023 is currently under way and the summary is due to be published in 2024.
