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

The most recently published summary for all counties, conducted in November 2023, is available on my Department's website at: www.gov.ie/en/collection/62486-summary-of-social-housing-assessments/

In relation to the number of people on the social housing lists in Cavan and Monaghan, there were 511 and 395 households on each list respectively in 2023. While the average waiting time per local authority list is not captured, details on the length of time spent on the respective lists of each local authority are included in tables 2.8 and A1.8 in the report.

Under Housing for All, each local authority was required to prepare a Housing Delivery Action Plan. This Plan sets out details of both social and affordable housing delivery as appropriate over the period 2022-2026, in line with targets set under Housing for All. The Plans also include details of the locations and delivery streams for social housing schemes. The Plans have been published on local authorities’ own websites. Record levels of investment are being provided under Housing for All, with a target to deliver an average of 10,000 new build social homes each year in the period 2022-2030.
