Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 January 2022
202. Deputy Kathleen Funchion asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the average wait time for a one, two, three and four-bedroom council home in County Carlow over the past 12 months; and the average wait time for a disability adapted housing unit in County Carlow over the past 12 months. [4085/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraDetail on the number of households qualified for social housing support in each local authority administrative area is provided in the annual statutory Summary of Social Housing Assessments (SSHA). The SSHA captures the total number of households qualified for social housing support across the country whose social housing need has not yet been met and helps better inform policy and planning for the delivery of the right types of social housing support.
The most recently published summary, conducted in November 2020, can be accessed at the link below. It includes a breakdown by local authority across a range of categories, including household size and the length of time spent on the record of qualified households (waiting lists).
My Department does not hold information on the average wait time for one, two, three and four-bedroom homes, or for disability adapted housing.
The 2021 SSHA process is underway and I expect to publish the summary report before end Q1, 2022.
