Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 February 2024
405. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will comment on the success or otherwise of the cost-rental tenant-in-situ scheme in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6360/24]
View answerThe Government has developed the Cost Rental Tenant In-Situ (CRTiS) scheme for tenants in private rental homes who are at risk of homelessness because a landlord intends to sell the property, but who are not in receipt of social housing supports. The scheme was established on a temporary administrative basis from 1 April 2023 and is managed by the Housing Agency, pending further policy development over the longer term with the intention of transitioning these tenants and homes to the standard Cost Rental model.
I am informed that the Housing Agency are engaging with more than 130 landlords across all local authority areas including Clare with a view to the purchase of those homes.
Data for affordable housing delivery is published on a quarterly basis, similar to social housing delivery. This data is published up to Quarter 3 2023, including CRTiS figures, and is available on my Department's website: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/
