WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOUSING BY DEPUTY D.J. WARR OF ST. HELIER SOUTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 27th JANUARY 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 3rd FEBRUARY 2025
Question
"Will the Minister advise the number of Islanders living in Social Housing for each of the years 2022, 2023 and 2024 together with a breakdown of those who receive, or have received, assistance towards their rent and the percentage of assistance received?"
Answer
Information is not held on the total number of Islanders who live in social housing, and therefore the number of Islanders who receive, or have received, assistance towards their rent through Income Support. However, some data is held on the number of households who live in social housing and receive assistance for their rent.
The 2021 Census identified that 5,826 households (13% of all household tenures) in Jersey live in social rented housing, including accommodation provided by Andium Homes, housing trusts and the parishes.
The number of households living in social housing who were receiving assistance with their rental costs at the year-end between 2022 and 2023 was as follows:
Year | Andium Homes | Housing trusts |
2022 | 2,830 | 1,290 |
2023 | 2,900 | 1,210 |
*Numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10
This data is available on the opendata.gov.je site, and will include 2024 data once available.
Since the Census in March 2021, roughly 1,100 new units of social housing have been developed by Andium Homes and the housing trusts.
