The above figures were supplemented by 126 acquisitions (i.e. purchases of second hand properties of which there were 93 and 33 in 2019 and 2020 respectively) and 172 long-term leases (49 and 123 in 2019 and 2020 respectively) while an allowance of voids (21 and 10 respectively for 2019 and 2020) were also included in the final end of year housing supply figures for the County approved by the Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage. This resulted in overall additional social housing supply of 591 new homes in 2019 and a further 536 new social homes for 2020.
The final housing delivery outturns for 2019 and 2020 were reported to the Housing SPC and are available to view at these links for 2019 and 2020 respectively.
