Delivery of social housing fell more than a third short of target last year, while housing delivery overall fell by just 20 per cent, despite some social housing construction continuing during lockdown.
In the end 24,625 – 11 per cent shy of target – were provided. HAP and RAS arrangements exceeded targets. Where 15,750 new HAP tenancies were planned, 15,885 were set up. In all, 600 RAS arrangements were targeted and 913 set up. However, given that households in need of social housing support who were placed in HAP tenancies were removed from the main housing list, Mr Ó Broin said the apparent decrease was misleading.
“So despite an extra 6,387 social houses, the net position is an increase of 4,302 households in need of social housing supports.”O’Brien said, however, “These results are evidence that Government investment in the suite of social housing support initiatives is working. Just under 25,000 households had their housing needs met last year and Budget 2021 has made available €3.3 billion for housing delivery programmes.
Good to see the plan to let social housing continue through this lockdown has worked wonders!! 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Nobody is suprised 🤣
Targets missed here and there... in fairness if they actually hit targets I’d be more surprised... well, the only target they like is to bury their nose in the trough deeper in the form of a pay rise... they’ll never miss them..
