To ask the Chief Executive how many social housing projects are in the pipeline or due for completion in 2019 / 2020 and how many tenants are proposed to be accommodated in these developements and to make a statement on the matter

REPLY:

This Council's 2019 target for new build social housing delivery as set by the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government is 435 homes but it is currently anticipated that approximately 400 new homes will be delivered.  Three new Council construction projects at Killinarden, Ballyboden and St. Cuthberts in Clondalkin will deliver 112 new homes in 2019 with the balance being delivered through 24 new build Part V, Approved Housing Body or turn-key projects.  The Council's 2020 new build supply pipeline is currently projected to deliver approximately 420 new build homes across 17 different projects.

The Council continues to work with developers and Approved Housing Bodies in examining opportunities to increase the delivery of the new build programme. 

All of the anticipated new social homes will be allocated in accordance with the Council's Allocations Scheme.

A detailed Housing Supply Report is presented quarterly to Area Committees and the latest report is due to be presented at the September Area Committee meetings.
