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

How many families and children who are living in social housing, or who are on the Affordable Housing Gateway, are considered to be living in housing that is inadequate due to an insufficient number of bedrooms for the families' needs?

Answer

The Gateway currently have 131 active applications on the waiting list where the property is deemed to be overcrowded. 129 applications include families with children. 68 of these applications are already in social housing and 63 are in the private sector. These numbers will be significantly reduced with the new stock coming on line in the upcoming months.
