QUESTION NO. 20

QUESTION: Councillor D. Ó Brádaigh

To ask the manager how many of the 205 'Rightsizing' applications made in 2023 have been progressed, and to what extent, and if the manager can include a statement on the query?

REPLY:

Of the 205 applications received, 112 applications were from existing tenants seeking to transfer on rightsizing grounds. To date 29 of these transfers have been completed and tenants have moved into their new age friendly homes. 

93 expression of interest (EOI's) have been received for the Private Financial Contribution scheme to date. 2 applications are currently with our Law Department for completion with a further 12 applicants referred to our Housing Procurement Section for valuation and  property inspections. The remaining EOI's have remained on the list however, no further documentation to progress the applications have been received from the applicants to date.

The Council will shortly launch a new dedicated webpage on www.sdcc.ie providing information on Right Sizing options for tenants and private homeowners in the County with details of how to apply, images and locations of upcoming age friendly housing opportunities in the County.
