o    Condensation: DCC Housing Stock

·         Housing Supply Report September 2017

This motion proposes that Dublin City Council Management be mandated to request the Minister of the Environment to increase the economic threshold baring working families from accessing public housing. Households with income up to 80,000 net should be considered eligible to access public housing.

In noting that many of Dublin City Council's flat complexes are ageing and in serious need of refurbishment, the Housing SPC calls on the manager to draft a report for the October meeting outlining how Dublin City Council can redevelop our local authority flat complexes.
This report will;
take in to account the need to increase housing density in line with the City Development Plan, 
ensure that there is an increase in the number of council units,
include economic regeneration where appropriate,
outline a time frame,
and will also address how funding can be sourced to complete this work. 

Dublin City Council recognises the inordinate length of time that single people on our social housing lists wait to be allocated a one bed unit and the lack of any specific plan to increase supply of one bed units. Therefore, the Housing SPC seeks that a strategic plan be drawn up and published before the end of 2017 to dramatically increase the number of one bed units across all DCC Housing Areas so as to alleviate the length of time single people have to spend on our one bed housing waiting list.
