Today I launched a “Call for Housing 2020” - asking property owners with vacant properties to make them available for use as social housing.
We are looking for a range of properties including one bed properties, larger family homes and homes that are or can be adapted for those with a disability or are suitable for older people such as a bungalow or an apartment.
A website http://www.callforhousing.ie  and a phoneline 1800 200 934 (8am – 6pm Mon-Fri) have been established and anyone with a suitable property can email [email protected]
I remain firmly of the view that new builds are the appropriate approach to a long-term housing strategy, however I am keenly aware of the impact of COVID-19 on the delivery of new builds and my priority is providing sustainable and safe accommodation for those most in need of it
