My Department publishes a wide range of housing statistics, including data on the number of social housing units provided broken down by area and year . The statistics concerned are available on my Department’s website at .
I expect the final output across all social housing programmes for 2014 to be in the region of 5,000 new housing units as set out in the following table.
Delivery method | Number |
|---|---|
| Rental Accommodation Scheme | 2,500 |
| Leasing, including: 400 NAMA sourced properties and 350 Mortgage to Rent Scheme | 1,200 |
| Deinstitutionalisation Programme - new Units for people with disability leaving institutional care | 150 |
| Social Housing Investment Programme (new homes) | 200 |
| Units for People with Special Housing Needs under Capital Assistance Scheme (new homes) | 175 |
| Social Housing Stimulus Programme | 500 |
As regards 2015 and 2016, the number and method of delivery of social housing units in those years will be determined in the respective estimates process for the years in question in the light of available resources.
