QUESTION NO.26

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

To ask the Chief Executive how many people have been housed within the County within the past 12 months who were not homeless, but were on the housing list.  And how many people were housed without having a medical priority for the same period?  

REPLY:

It is not possible to provide the data for the past 12 months without extensive manual research and cross checking of figures.  However the allocation of houses from the begining of this year is as follows.   

For 2015 the Council has housed 46 applicants from the housing waiting  list into vacant dwellings up to 11th September 2015, not including Homeless as follows:- 

22  were through the CBL system and housed  in Council owned dwellings and 3 were housed in Council owned Older Persons dwellings.

The Council housed 21 applicants from the housing waiting list with medical priority – 19 to Council owned dwellings, 1 to a Leased dwelling and 1 to Associated Housing Body.

The Council also facilitated housing through the ASH and RAS schemes – these are not included  in the above figures as under these schemes the applicant has sourced the property or tend to come with tenants insitu or used to relocate tenants from RAS properties on which the lease is being discontinued:- 

Ash = 17 up to 11/09/2015

RAS = 35  as at 31/08/2015

The Council has recently advertised 34 dwellings on CBL which have been allocated and due for Tenancy signing shortly.
