As housing authorities, local authorities are responsible for the identification of the social housing need in their area and the development of appropriate responses to the need identified. My Department is working with all local authorities on the planning and development of new social housing units that could be advanced in 2015 and beyond to meet the social housing need in their areas. This could include the development of single rural dwellings where identified and prioritised by local authorities in response to any call for proposals under my Department’s Local Authority Social Housing Construction and Acquisition Programme.
