To date the Council has received  expressions of interest from owners of 103 private properties in the Lucan EA for inclusion in the Social Housing Leasing Initiative, of which 27 of the properties were presented through the Applicant Sourced Homes (ASH) scheme.  All properties were assessed for suitability and negotiations were conducted with the various property owners.  Lease terms have now been agreed for a total of 31 properties including 2 ASH cases and these properties have been tenanted.  A further 3 ASH cases are currently in process. 

An enhanced rollout of the ASH scheme will be commenced in the coming months in tandem with the Choice Based Letting (CBL) scheme.
