View answerThe new national housing plan, Building Homes, Delivery Communities, commits to reviewing the CCMA Code of Practice - Approved Housing Body (AHB) Allocation Process (the Code). A Working Group comprising of my Department, the local authorities, the AHB sector (represented by the Housing Alliance and the Irish Council for Social Housing) and the Housing Agency has been established to carry out a review of the Code.
The purpose of this Working Group is to undertake a review of the Code, assessing its operation in practice, and identifying any amendments or recommendations required to improve effectiveness and consistency of practice in the allocations process, adopting the same collaborative approach underpinning the Code.
The review of the Code is scheduled for completion by H2 2026.
