It is a matter for housing authorities to consider and put forward proposals in relation to the provision of suitable accommodation for all categories of persons in need of housing, including homeless persons, within their respective functional areas. My Department has not received any proposals for funding under the Social Housing Investment Programme relating to prefabricated modular systems of the type referred to in the question. My Department is currently preparing a Social Housing Strategy which is due to be published by Q3 2014 and all appropriate forms of social housing provision will be considered as part of the development of this strategy.
