Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 9 September 2024
809. Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of cost-rental tenant-in-situ scheme requests received by each respective local authority; the number successfully processed and refused to date, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34659/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Cost Rental Tenant In-Situ (CRTiS) scheme was introduced on 1 April 2023 for tenants in private rental homes who are at risk of homelessness because a landlord has served a valid Notice of Termination due to an intention to sell the property.
The Local Authority conducts the initial assessment for eligibility of the tenant for this scheme and refers potential cases to the Housing Agency, which is responsible for administering and managing the scheme on behalf of my Department, pending further policy development over the longer term, with the intention of transitioning these homes to the standard Cost Rental model.
Data for affordable housing delivery is published on a quarterly basis, similar to social housing delivery. This data is published up to Quarter 1 2024, including CRTiS figures, and is available on my Department's website: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/
