This Council does not support statements regarding the "gaming of the system" or "years of bad behaviour" by senior housing officials in the Dublin Regional Housing Executive.
South Dublin County Council has changed its policy regarding the allocation of housing to those currently accessing homeless services through hubs, hotels or other means.
This Council regards hubs and hotels as a short term emergency measure and recognises the work and studies carried out by Focus Ireland and others regarding the negative impact of homelessness, hubs and hotels on the development and mental health of children and adults.
It is our position that HAP does not offer a secure, quality accommodation, or a value for money solution for homelessness.
This Council calls for a defined percentage of all available homes for allocation to be reserved for families currently in long term emergency accommodation in hubs, hotels and hostels based on their time in homelessness.

With over 300 homeless families in the County and no significant inroads into the housing lists the requirement for significant public housing programmes and the utilisation of publicly owned land banks should be a key task of this council.
This council opposes the privatisation of public land or homes.
This Council also calls on management to use available powers to develop the proposed 892 homes on the lands at Kilcarbery/The Grange as public and affordable housing. 60% of these homes should be reserved for those on the social housing list as traditional social housing.
We propose that the remaining 40% be open to those not on housing lists but on an occupancy only basis and developed on an affordable model financed through the Housing Finance Agency with the Council maintaining a first right of refusal option on the future sale of any of these properties.
It is estimated that the cost of building 357 affordable homes is €70.8 million, (1 bed by 60 units, 2 bed by 80, 3 bed by 200, 4 bed by 17). On the basis of a 10% deposit and 25 year mortgages at an interest rate of 2%, monthly repayments would range from €572 for a one bedroom to €954 for a four bedroom house.
The housing crisis can be tackled but only by breaking with the logic of for profit development and by devoting significant resources to delivering public housing. In doing so the trend of the declining share of public housing would be halted and could begin to be substantially reversed.
