MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, March 11, 2024

QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor M. Johansson

To ask the Chief Executive what the funding allocation is for 2024 for tenant-in-situ, and if there is any funding outstanding from 2023?

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council's target under the tenant-in-situ scheme is to buy 150 properties in cases where tenants generally in receipt of HAP/RAS payments and are facing eviction when the landlord is selling the property. There is no specific funding amount allocated instead we are provided with acquisition cost guidelines by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. These guidelines apply to houses and apartments in the South Dublin Administrative area and are reflective of current market values.

Applications for recoupment funding are then submitted to the DHLGH upon completion of individual property sales.
