WQ.81/2020
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR CHILDREN AND HOUSING BY DEPUTY K.G. PAMPLIN OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 25th FEBRUARY 2020
Question
What data, if any, is available to the Minister regarding the number of children and families considered to be living in sub-standard accommodation?
Answer
We currently have 29 active applications on the waiting list who are deemed to be living in poor housing standards. 26 of these are in the private sector. Of these, 11 applications include children. The other 15 do not include children and require bedsits or 1-bedroom flats. The 3 remaining applications are already in social housing and although categorised as "poor housing" are in fact cases where the needs cannot be met in the existing accommodation for various reasons.
