I propose to take Questions Nos. 669 and 673 together.
Long term lease arrangements can be entered into by either local authorities or approved housing bodies (AHBs) for periods of between 10 and 25 years.
Local authorities or AHBs lease dwellings taking account of local need, the suitability of dwellings, sustainable communities’ considerations and value for money. These properties are allocated to households on the social housing waiting list.
Details of the number of social housing units provided through long-term leasing from 2017 up to Q3 2023 can be found on my Department's website at the following links:
