The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien, has announced that new income eligibility limits for social housing have taken effect.
From 1 January 2023, social housing income eligibility thresholds in Local Authorities across the country have been increased by €5,000.
Commenting Minister O’Brien said:
"It’s been over a decade since any changes have been made to the income eligibility thresholds and under Housing for All a commitment was made to review the eligibility limits.
"The new income limits are now in place across the country and all Local Authorities will have updated their own application forms and systems.
"Work is ongoing in developing a revised income eligibility model and this will be completed in 2023."
