Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 February 2022
331. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of persons in County Tipperary that are currently on social housing lists and are awaiting the provision of suitable accommodation in per municipal district in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6629/22]
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 plan for the delivery of the right types of social housing support.
SSHA data is collected and collated at local authority level. Accordingly, a breakdown by municipal district cannot be provided.
The most recently published summary for all counties, conducted in November 2020, is available at:

The 2021 SSHA process is underway and I expect to publish the summary report before end Q1, 2022.
