Data relating to Quarter 1 2018 Social Housing Delivery, across all local authorities, is currently being finalised and will be published on My Department's website when complete.
In 2018, I expect to see nearly 26,000 households having their housing need met. I have advised all local authorities of their minimum social housing targets across build, acquisition and lease both for 2018 and also for the multi-annual period to 2021, details of which can be accessed on my Department's website at:
.
In respect of build targets for 2018, a strong pipeline is already in place for local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies to deliver on these targets. The 2018 build target is for the delivery of 4,969 additional social housing homes, including 3,819 local authority and Approved Housing Body build units. The Quarter 4 2017 Construction Status Report provides project detail on the existing pipeline in place, which will support the delivery against this target. The report can be viewed at the following weblink:
.
Over the course of the first quarter of 2018, projects will have progressed further through the approval process and additional projects will also have been added to the pipeline. The Q1 2018 Construction Status report will be finalised shortly and will be published at that stage.

In 2017, 25,901 households had their housing need met, with some 7,095 of these properties delivered under through the build/acquisition and long-term leasing mechanisms.
A total of 1,014 new build homes were delivered directly by local authorities. In addition, 761 new build homes were delivered by Approved Housing Bodies and a further 522 new build Part V homes were provided by local authorities and approved housing bodies, bringing to 2,297, the total of new build homes provided in 2017.
