The target number of cases for transfer to the Rental Accommodation Scheme during 2010 will likely be set at approximately 400 for South Dublin County Council. The property types will continue to be a mix of apartments, duplex units and houses and they will be located across the county.
The Council will also be driving the new Social Leasing Initiative for the procurement of social housing. It is not possible to give an estimate of the number of units that will be procured under this programme as it is dependant on the response of owners. It is considered that the outcome of the NAMA process may also have a bearing on this initiative.
