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 2024, is available on my Department's website at: www.gov.ie/en/collection/62486-summary-of-social-housing-assessments/

The 2024 Summary shows that there were 59,941 households qualified for social housing whose need had not yet been met nationally.
