Housing needs assessment survey undertaken by Kildare County Council

A major assessment of housing needs in the county is to be undertaken by Kildare County Council. 

The local authority is required to conduct a Social Housing Assessment (SSHA) 2023, a summary of social housing needs in Kildare.

"Only applicants registered and approved with Kildare County Council as in need of social housing between March 1, 2018 and February 28, 2019 are required to complete this form. The Summary of Social Housing Assessment 2023 forms and an introductory letter will be posted to relevant housing applicants in the coming days," it said.

"If you are a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) tenant, Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) tenant or Transfer tenant you do not need to complete this form.

"The closing date for receipt of the Summary of Social Housing assessment forms is Monday, September 25.

Under the departmental directive, failure to submit fully completed SSHA 2023 form, along with relevant documentation, will result in the file being closed and the applicant being removed from the housing list."
