This Council expresses its concerns that the proposed use of modular housing as an emergency accommodation may result in families being housed long term in such units.  We also are concerned that the purchase of modular homes may not represent the best value for money.

We call on the Minister of Environment to allow the Council to use the allocation of funds for modular units to purchase houses on the private market where such purchases represent better value for money than the purchase of modular homes and where they provide better quality accommodation to meet the homeless needs of homeless households.

- The potential of SDZs to assist in dealing with the crisis by fast-tracking housing provision alongside essential community facilities and infrastructure.
