Details 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 provides a breakdown of categories such as age, household size and basis of need. In 2023, there were 58,824 households qualified for social housing whose need had not yet been met.
The most recently published summary for all local authority areas was conducted in November 2023 and is available on my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/publication/0dad4-summary-of-social-housing-assessments-2023-key-findings/
