The allocation of social housing support to qualified households is, in the first instance, a matter for the local authority concerned, in accordance with the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 and associated Regulations. Information on the number of social housing units delivered in 2015 can be found in the Social Housing Output in 2015report. The report, which was published on 26 January 2016, in collaboration with the Housing Agency, is available on my Department’s website at the following link:

Additional data on the breakdown of output, across all social housing delivery programmes, by local authority in 2015, are available on my Department’s website at the following link:
