To the end of September this year 4,319 units have been identified by NAMA as being potentially suitable for social housing.
Of these some 1,900 have been confirmed as being suitable and 443 have been completed or contracted. Of these, 288 are being delivered through the Social Housing Leasing Initiative (SHLI) and are currently occupied or in the process of being occupied. Under SHLI there is no cost for works in completing the units as agreements are not signed until the units are available for tenanting. My Department has also issued approval for some €4m in repayable capital advances to Approved Housing Bodies to facilitate the financing of the units being provided by them.
The expected average monthly cost for these units is just under €597.
A full breakdown by county of the units identified, deemed suitable and completed or contracted, is shown in the table. Further information, including quarterly updates, in relation to the delivery of NAMA sourced units is available at the Housing Agency's website, www.housing.ie/NAMA.
