View answer349. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage when the Summary of Social Housing Assessment for 2025 will be published; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33909/26]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 339 and 349 together.
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 most recently published summary for all counties, conducted in November 2024, is available on my Department's website, along with all summaries since 2011 at www.gov.ie/en/collection/62486-summary-of-social-housing-assessments/.
Tables 2.4 and A1.4 of the report provide details on household size, including a breakdown of the household composition, which provides a granular level of detail regarding the number of persons in each household type.
Details on the length of time households have been on the record of qualified households (the Waiting List) are provided for in Table 2.8 and Figure A1.8.
The 2025 summary report has just recently been completed and I expect to publish the report shortly.
