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. The total number of households qualified in Monaghan in November 2020 was 413, representing a decrease of 117 households (-22.1%) between June 2019 and November 2020.

Below is the link to the summary report for 2020 which includes breakdowns by each local authority across a range of categories.

It should also 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.
