QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor T. Costello

To ask the Chief Executive what is the current waiting time for social housing support applications to be processed based on forms being submitted correctly with all accompanying documentation supplied

REPLY:

Applications for social housing support, where accompanied with all necessary supporting documentation, are generally processed within 8 weeks.

Later this month, we will introduce an online application process for social housing supports later this month that will allow applicants to apply and upload all supporting documentation through our housing online portal, removing the need for hard copy applications and the submission of follow-up documentation requests, which should further improve processing times.  Details of the new online application process will be communicated through the Council's website and social media channels in the coming weeks.
