I refer to the reply to Question No. 148 of 29 March, 2011. The Social Housing Assessment Regulations 2011 came into force on 1 April 2011.
Housing authorities are currently carrying out an assessment of need as at 31 March of this year. The results will be available later in the year. The last assessment took place in 2008 and produced a net need figure of 56,249 households.
