QUESTION NO.12

QUESTION: Councillor S. Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the implementation of the Council's right-sizing strategy in Lucan, Palmerstown and North Clondalkin.

REPLY:

There are currently 102 age friendly rightsizing transfer applications approved for the county.  44 of these applications are from North of the Naas Road.

93 expressions 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 have recently launched a new dedicated webpage Age Friendly Housing and Rightsizing - SDCC 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.
