Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion
Mr. Frank Curran:
Housing for All sets out the target countrywide, which is 51,000. There are 27,000 in the delivery pipeline. The targets for each county were set out. For us, it was 1,994 in terms of social housing. We project that we will deliver more than that. That is a realistic target based on the staff and resources we have, the money we will get from central government and the money the AHBs in our area will get from central government. The Deputy mentioned the lists. The figures I have are broadly similar to those to which he referred. There are 3,700 on the waiting list, with Dún Laoghaire being the primary local authority for 2,352 of them. There are also 1,500 people on HAP. It is still a significant delivery in the period 2022 to 2026. There is a lot of resources and work going into that-----
