Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2017
1358. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of long term social housing voids returned to stock by each local authority in each of the years 2014 to 2016 and to date in 2017; and the funding allocated to each local authority in each year to restore these units to use, in tabular form. [47024/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Voids Programme, introduced in 2014 by my Department, provides additional support to local authorities in preparing vacant units for reletting. This funding is available as an additional support over and above what local authorities provide themselves towards such work.
There were 2,326, 2,696 and 2,090 vacant social homes brought back into productive use in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively, with funding assistance from my Department. The latest information for 2017 indicates that nearly 850 units have been completed and I anticipate that this figure will reach over 1,400 by year-end.
Local authorities are continuing to undertake works under the programme in 2017 and submit claims for funding on an ongoing basis, as works are completed. As such, my Department does not yet have complete figures for the average costs of units retrofitted this year.
