WQ.11/2025
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 whether there are Islanders currently occupying Social Housing who have a household income above the limits to qualify for the Affordable Housing Gateway and, if so, would he provide the number and outline what action, if any, he is undertaking to address this situation?"
Answer
It is inevitable that there are Islanders residing in social housing who are above the income limits to qualify for the Affordable Housing Gateway, as Islanders are only assessed on their incomes at the point they begin a social housing tenancy, not throughout that tenancy. Islanders in social housing will, like everyone, experience changes in their circumstances over time. It is not possible to determine the number of Islanders whose incomes have risen above the limit during their time in social housing as this will not be data held either by the providers or the Employment, Social Security and Housing Department.
I do not consider this to be a "situation" which requires addressing.
