I propose to take Questions Nos. 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 219, 221, 223 and 225 together.

Details on the number of households qualified for social housing support in each local authority administrative area are provided in the annual statutory Summary of Social Housing Assessments (SSHA).

The most recent summary, conducted in November 2020, shows that 61,880 households were assessed as qualified for and being in need of social housing support. This represents a decrease of 6,813 households or 9.9% on the last assessment in June 2019. Since 2016, the numbers have decreased from 91,600 to 61,880, a reduction of 32.4%.

Below is the link to the summary report for 2020 which includes breakdowns by each local authority, including Counties Wicklow and Wexford, across a range of categories. SSHA data is collected and collated at local authority level and therefore a breakdown of the numbers by municipal districts cannot be provided.

In relation to the number of applicants on the waiting list for a given number of years, details on the length of time spent on the record of qualified households (waiting lists) can be found at tables 2.8 and A1.8 of the reports. Please note, it does not provide a breakdown of the number of years beyond the category of more than 7 years.

It should be noted that the SSHA is a point in time snapshot of the demand for social housing support in each local authority area and does not necessarily reflect the dynamic nature of entry to and exit from the housing waiting lists. It does not explicitly provide data on the number of new applicants that joined the social housing list each year.
