At the same time, more than 1,500 local authority homes were refurbished under the voids programme and restored to use. Just prior to and during the period of the moratorium, local authorities opened some 500 additional homeless emergency beds and 170 cold-winter beds. Some 734 adults and 346 families exited homelessness in quarter 4 of 2022. In the last three months of 2022, during the eviction moratorium, 1,896 new HAP tenancies were created. All these new social homes were delivered despite the many knock-on impacts of the war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and all the various issues Sinn Féin would like to ignore. We are delivering more social homes now than any Government since 1975.
