200. Deputy Cormac Devlin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage for an update on plans for housing options for older people properties; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37522/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government’s new housing plan, Delivering Homes, Building Communities, includes measures which will increase delivery of housing for older people through increased delivery of social housing, increased delivery of more suitable homes and choice in private housing and increased choice to support voluntary rightsizing. Government is committed to increasing housing available to older people to facilitate ageing in place with dignity and independence and to supporting rightsizing on a voluntary basis.
My Department is advancing these measures, now incorporated in Delivering Homes, Building Communities, including the implementation of these commitments through an action plan that is currently being prepared by my Department, and it is expected it will be advanced in the first half of this year.
