Applications for social housing support are assessed by local authorities in accordance with the eligibility and need criteria set down in section 20 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 and the associated Social Housing Assessment Regulations 2011 (as amended).

As social housing support is intended to address a household’s long-term housing need it is expected that households applying for such support have a long-term right to reside in the State. My Department is currently reviewing the approach in this area and will finalise proposals in the new year.
