A statutory assessment of housing need is carried out every three years by all housing authorities. Data for the 2011 Assessment of Housing Need is currently being compiled by the Housing Agency and will be published as soon as possible. The last assessment took place in 2008 and indicated that there were 56,249 households in need of social housing support. Detailed information on this assessment, including a breakdown by housing authority, is available on my Department's website – www.environ.ie.
