Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department publishes comprehensive programme level statistics on social housing units leased by Local Authorities on a quarterly basis. Details on the number of social housing units leased by local authorities from 2015 to Q2 2021 are published on the statistics page of my Department’s website, at the following link: www.housing.gov.ie/housing/social-housing/social-and-affordble/overall-social-housing-provision
The Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP) supports the delivery of social housing by providing financial support to local authorities for the long term leasing of houses and apartments from private owners and Approved Housing Bodies.
From 2017 to the end of Q2 2021, 5,309 dwellings (excluding Part V leasing) have been secured under SHCEP. 181 dwellings have been secured via Part V leasing within the same period. Details of housing units leased by Local Authority, broken down by lease type are detailed in Table 1.

All data is based on local authority claims for operational agreements recorded on my Department's SHCEP financial management system. Any variations in data between operational figures and total output under leasing delivery streams is due to the time lag in the submission of claims to my Department in respect of new claims after delivery.
